OK, I'm not officially a geek, but this little widget will turn me into one. I can honestly say that I rarely use the widget feature except for the occassional unit conversion. But now, I go in there often. Especially if the room's a little warm and I hear the fans turning, I'll go check out the temps. If I need to save a large movie project, I check which drive will temporarily accomodate the space. All sorts of cool gadgety stuff.
