What are widgets good for?

I've been cosidering installing a widget just to see what it is.





What are some things I could use it for?





Is there any problems with having it?





Is it worth it?





Thank you :)

I read somewhere that you could track the weather using Doppler radar, that might be a neat thing to do.
Reply:well it is a great way to decorate you screen. keep photos, create a rubbish depots, have a blue moon time. stuff like that./ it is cool, but you may feel like the computer is running way slower so be careful usually it does run slower. yep it is worth it if you have a small mg computer and dont store much.

Reply:Personally I don't have any use for widgets, I was curious as to what they were installed one and never really thought it did anything fancy or important.
Reply:I had them once because I love to follow the weather, but they do slow up the system and take up alot of CPU..but they are pretty cool
