Cool Widget #1

I hadn't used a Mac since 8th grade in computer class.

So when Jeff convinced me to go with a Mac, I was a little apprehensive.

The widgets helped.

Widgets are small programs that you install onto your "dashboard" which you can activate by pressing F12. These little programs range from games to quotes of the day to whatever.

Well, I haven't really thought of widgets in a long time. I had a bunch I liked, and I never really used them. Today I decided to look at the Widgets you can download, and I found one I really, really like. This widget helps you find the cheapest gas at the gas stations in your area. I found out that a gas station pretty close to me was 6 cents less than others in the area. Since gasoline prices have skyrocketed, this is a good, good widget.

Ok I see how it is ..you have to have a Mac to get these widgets and get the cheap gas price..it's a conspiracy :)

I have this widget also, it is pretty cool. However, i have found that the cheapest prices are always 10-15 miles north of me. that is just a waste of gas...
