Testing Out a Widget

I have to say that the more I use different features of different computers the more I wish that certain things were consistent across platforms. Take the Widgets on OS X from Apple. They really can save you time from doing certain tasks that you would be doing from somewhere else on your machine. For example right now I am posting this from my Dashboard. This is similar to the different applets in Linux that allow you to do certain tasks quickly. It is always amazing to me the new things that you can find while your are roaming the web. I know that the Dashboard feature has been out for a while, but until recently I couldn't place my finger on how I might use it. Now with it being something that has matured a little I am going to reinvestigate this. I am really going to be curious what Vista is going to look like and how the new 64 bit chips are going to change things. Well have to wait and see. That's enought for a Sunday post. I have a feeling that I am going to start using this more often.
