I need to read more closely. I only heard about the software as I rode into school quite dorkily listening to a MacBreak podcast. I was so excited I went right in and downloaded the software. Like you, I'd like to do a lot more with it than I am currently able. I think widgets have some real potential for use with students. Our current image won't let them install widgets and it's driving them crazy. I don't think Leopard is in my school future anytime soon but we've got three more years in our Apple contract so I'll get it eventually. I may have to justify the home purchase as I doubt I'll be able to wait. I'll be interested to see what you do with the widgets. If you get the library lookup working let me know! My librarians would flip out if I could manage that for them. Tom Blast! I need to read more closely.

I’ll be interested to see what you do with the widgets. If you get the library lookup working let me know! My librarians would flip out if I could manage that for them.
