There's a download on the widgets page that will display the dashboard instead of going into screensaver mode. That's the only time i really think about the widgets.

The rare occasions that i've thought to use it were for tracking packages and looking up a word or synonym using the dictionary / thesaurus.

I'm sure as more useful widgets come out I'll eventually use it more, but the biggest hurdle is just thinking to use it ...

it's ALL i use. i had absolutely no use for a "computer" prior to these "widgets". most of my work day is spent looking up words, doing simple calculations and repeatedly checking the current date and time. and how many times do i have someone interrupt my date-watching to ask for pressure conversions. only like zillions of times. "oh, you don't know how many pascals equate to 10.2 atmospheres? 1,033,515. now get out." now that all these complex tasks are all at my fingertips i can spend more time walking through the hallways looking like i'm going somewhere important or conditioning myself to become ever more mentally comfortable relieving in public restrooms. thank you dashboard. thank you for making me a better person.

How can I edit my own comment? I noticed a typo. Does dashboard have a widget for this? If not, I'm lost. Please advise.
