The forecast plugin is cool. Also, for posting here, the BBCode plugin is great. Shortens time doing HTML. Another good one is the dictionary plugin.

Got enough gadgets? Got any room on your computer for anything else? Ever wonder if maybe some of these freeware gadgets made in someone's garage are the ~source~ of malware? I use IE and a commercial virus software (PC-Cillan), I use Outlook for email, have one email address that was provided by my cable ISP (not free) and I've never had one instance of spyware or adware or any kind of ware infect my machine. Not once ever. And I am fairly confident they are not just slipping in under my radar, because I finally checked up on it with MS AntiSpyware, and nothing was found on my initial scan or any scan since.

The secret? Buy licensed software and keep it up to date, don't go to sleezy sites, and if you do go to sleezy sites, don't say yes to anything that is offered you. It's really that simple. Everyone I know who uses all this freeware stuff also is in a constant cat and mouse game with malware and other computer meltdowns, and everyone I know who just buys legitimate commercial software instead of getting by on the cheap does just fine :~D
