Re: Does anyone use widgets?

Called "bugs" because they are like the bugs on the windshield!

Annoying. Distracting. And now, getting BIGGER, and animated.
(you know, you are watching a show and this actress walks out, does a 360 with her hair flowing and crosses her arms. EFF YOU Missus Bacon!)

Back to the matter at hand, no, I use widgets on my computer. Briefly and to the point. I do like the idea of a widget to show someone calling, or the weather, or if I have email or won that eBay bid. But other than that...whatever floats your boat.

But what I don't want and I am hearing it is coming, is the advertising IN the menus. Its pathetic enough that I have to watch some buxom brunette smile about Rosetta stone, and then some idiots rant about how great Direct Buy is, and then those awful "Billy Mays" pitched crapwares, or the numerous drug and "male enhancement" commercials...

I think I'm going Luddite and be happy. Bye!
