I love the ZX Spectrum widget but you had to be there to appreciate it

iStat Pro is cool. Tells you about the technical stuff going on in your computer. You can get it from the Apple site. Google it.

Istat Pro here is supposed to be very useful for making sure that your mb is running correctly.

Thanks guys, how do I use multiple Yellow Sticky pad widgets as if they were real? Is there a way?

You can drag and drop and place more than one Sticky Note widget onto your Dashboard. As many as you like. You can also click the 'i' button in the corner to change the font of the writing and the color of the note.

I'm not sure what it's called but I have a timer widget I use a lot. You just put in an amount of time and it tells you when that has expired. It's available on Apple.
