Title: What widgets do you use? Post by: crypt on July 09, 2005, 06:55:51 am I just got Tiger yesterday and I was wondering what kind of widgets you guys use to do your everyday ordinary tasks. I've got a couple, but I wanted to see what all I am missing.

at the moment i'm using these widgets: Notes, Calender, Games4Mac.de Forum RSS, TV Tracker, Converter, Calculator, Clock, Transmit (3 times), Weather, Package Tracker and IMDB. also many that i just put in my dashboard now and then when i really need em. Title: Re: What widgets do you use? Post by: cO.Vickedson on July 09, 2005, 07:47:05 am I looked at the dashboard and widgets about 3 times a day for the first week I had Tiger.
Haven't bothered to even click the middle mouse button to look at them since......... "waste of time".... Title: Re: What widgets do you use? Post by: cO.twist on July 09, 2005, 09:36:50 am get cocktail from the apple site...ingredients to any drink you can think of 8)

Title: Re: What widgets do you use? Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on August 05, 2005, 03:37:45 pm I didn't use the widgets too much after the first week of Tiger...just didn't seem to have enough screen space to fit in all the ones I wanted to use. But I just got this Apple 20-inch Cinema Display and WOW...I can have every widget open at the same time with room to spare! I use about 30 of the top widgets off the Apple site.
Title: Re: What widgets do you use? Post by: cottonmouth on August 09, 2005, 06:49:42 pm I use the BBC news widget all the time. No need to log on to the BBC site and start the media player, just launch the widget and you are good to go. ;D

Title: Re: What widgets do you use? Post by: BFG on September 26, 2005, 04:16:33 am The conversion widget is by far the most usefull (and actually i think its damn excellent) widget i've found so far, be it time, currency, distance etc etc this daddy does the lot, and instantly.
I also use the weather widget a lot, System Stat (sysStat), the yellow pages, skype and the calculater... I also keep thinking about signing up to 'send sms' which lets you send really freaking cheep SMS messages from a slick little widget - but i still havn't got round to it!! I found the dictionary/theasaurus to be pretty damn weak, but i sometimes waste a bit of time playing 'dope wars' :D Title: Re: What widgets do you use? Post by: spike on September 26, 2005, 04:25:30 am lol i used to play dope wars on my ti-83 calc
