| What gadgets do you run? I'm finding the RSS reader useful for news headlines... and I like the weather, clock, cpu meter and calendar (all standard with Vista) I dont notice much impact to performance... Anyone got any gadgets they can recommend?

| Re: What gadgets do you run? I dont really use "widgets" anymore just because they started to get in my way, when I did though I found some useful ones like a Battery Life Meter (Windows Live Gallery) This one was useful for awhile too: Windows Live Gallery

| Re: What gadgets do you run? Some of the same ones. I'm not using the news at the moment and I decided to take my stock ticker down (too depressing). And I use use a different CPU meter than the stock one. I use post it notes and I have run an F@H tracker (but I don't the visual presentation). I'd like to write one some time, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
