Right now I'm addicted to the PONG (Mini) widget... as well as NFL Team News, Random National Geographic pictures, and always using that Dictionary.

    thanks! it's cool that they have ones for transportation http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/transportation

    i am probably going to use the BART ones regularly for up-to-date train info since there have been a few delays on my morning commute

    I'm rocking sticky notes and the notebook among other common ones. I actually bought that notebook one.. sorta a waste of money because i have plenty of space for multiple sticky notes.

    As always, BART = with their technology. I love that widget.

    Check the Transmit widget.
    Saves all your ftp client info, then just click on something from your desktop or finder, hit your dashboard shortcut, and drop right on the transmit truck. It logs you in and loads the file automatically. You can save multiple folder locations as well:

    I don't use widgets either, but I definetely view them as being useful. I've just been lazy with the widget discovery. I'm gonna seek out that Transmit thing that Bambouche mentioned, 'cause I use Transmit all the time.

    Spotlight on the other hand is an essential feature IMO. Once you get used to it, you don't want to be without it, trust me. I use it constantly to open files and programs without having to browse through a bunch of folders in a finder window. Apple+space->type keyword->apple+enter->boom! it's open. Trust me, Spotlight is the truth.

    For instance, say you want to find an e-mail you received a year ago that was something about "here's my new phone number in Cairo". Instead of opening Mail and searching for it in your inbox window, you can just type "cairo number" in Spotlight (without even opening Mail). The e-mail will show up on the list and you can open it directly from Spotlight.

    I dunno, I just like features that eliminate tedious browsing.

    you'll find out soon w/ vista.

    I use pretty standard ones....

    weather
    dictionary
    unit converter
    calender

    and the odd special ones

    sms
    traffic cam
    easy currency

    I find the news tickers to be a serious drain on cpu "usage". Check your activity monitor to see what's up. Most of them go into zero state when hidden though, which is great.
