Just curious to know what kind of cool widgets you guys all use.

I'm still collecting them for my dock, it could use some sprucing up!

Simple. I don't use a dock or widgets.

Occasionally I use Vista's sidebar widgets to monitor my CPU and RAM usage; usually that's when I've got something running in the background (such as an encoder) that I want to monitor without having to keep the window open.

I usually keep the Sidebar disabled to unclutter things.

As few as possible: an Amazon and a Google search and a clock... period.

World Clocks (so I know the time in London and Boston), a calendar, a calculator, a unit converter (for currency converting), and an iiNet usage metre.

Here in Australia, we have download limits (quotas) as well as peak and off-peak hours for the ADSL.

Adam Internet usage meter - same reason as Antony
CPU/RAM usage - for the hell of it
Weather
Clock - for the timr

[offtopic]Antony, TPG here in Australia are coming out with a 500GB, ADSL2+ plan for $79.99/mth soon.

Thanks Happy Dude,

I don't usually go over my 25GB + 40GB ADSL2 quota. Actually, Laurent has just cancelled his TPG (ADSL2) account. (We used to have two internet accounts in this house.)

Heh, I wouldn't mind 500GB, at least with all the downloading going on in my house we wouldn't be throttled...

As far as I know TPG are also trialling an unlimited off-peak plan...

anyway, thats enough offtopic-ness for me :/

I'm on the iiNet 40 + 60 plan and never run out of quota. iiUsage still comes in handy for keeping tabs on how much quota has been used.

Sorry to go off-topic,
Did you get an email from iiNet (early July) giving you free quota upgrade?

Mine went from 20GB (peak) to 25GB (peak). (same 40GB off peak).

Yes. Our peak quota remained at 40GB but the offpeak increased by 20GB to 60GB.

I have widgets, but they are in my dashboard, not in my dock. I have iStat Pro, the clock, the calendar, Proxify, a units converter, a widget that shows the phase of the moon, and 3 games.
