Product Description:

A time-saving "Swiss Army Knife" program that packs nineteen time-saving, productivity-enhancing interfaces to the most important web content and services.

URLs are hard to remember. Web services are scattered across the vastness of the web. Bookmark management is an oxymoron. Watson eliminates these problems and reduces your time-to-everything on the web -- Watson makes getting information from the Web simple and straightforward.

What's new in this version:

New SiteSearch tool bundled with the application
A revamped Epicurious tool is now bundled with the application. (Recipes has been renamed to RecipeSource for clarity.)
PriceGrabber: Categories of Apparel, Jewelry, and Photography are now included.
When installing or updating tools, the files are now compressed, resulting in faster downloads.
Most search input fields now are "combo boxes" storing the last dozen search terms in them.
Hypertext links in text displays now properly turn the cursor to a "hand" when it is over the link area.
The font used for display in lists and column browsers and the font used for display text can now be set from the preferences window. (Third party tools may not yet honor these settings, however; nor will the detail text in the Reference tool.)
New application preferences: One to cause Web URLs to open while still keeping Watson in front; one to prevent the "What's New" information to pop up while the program is running
