Dashboard Widgets?

[theodosia]

... it occurs to me that I kind of owed my LJ a followup -- yes, my installation of OS X 10.4 (Tiger) went well, just like you would hope it would!

So far ALL my applications are working, and nothing at all seems lost, and the newer Mail program is very cool.

However all these dashboard widgets -- there are so many of them, and I don't know what to choose. Do any of you who have Macs have particular widgets you'd recommend?

i only really use the calculator and sometimes the weather widget, and i just now noticed i have a post-it widget on my laptop. o.O so three useful ones! i like the little desk calendar except i never actually use it. but it's neat to have.

I use the weather widget and the monthly calendar widget. I find them both very useful. I keep browsing the other widgets, and can't find any that I think worth adding to the collection.

Widgets seem to me to be one of those ideas that seem great in theory, not so much in practice. I mean, if I'm looking for a specific piece of information, I don't find it particularly difficult to go to a Web page to find it.
