Silly Survey Sunday: How many Widgets do you use?

I'm new to OS X. I almost immediately decided they were worthless gimicks, and haven't used any. On review, I see I wasn't far wrong. Many do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF USE for a person outside of major cities or North America (eg maps, weather, etc). We already have a clock with date on the menu bar. I think the calculator should be useful (better than the Classic calculator), and perhaps the dictionary, unless it has only USA almost-English. I should check to see.

Weather Dictionary Flight Information Calculator Yellow Pages (use if often for business lookups) Two clocks (Local and International) Calendar (no longer need to go to Entourage) Convert (mostly for currency exchange rates) I like the widget concept because I can choose the ones I want to display based on the type of information to which I want quick access.

oh wow, i just use so many i couldnt count them all. i use at least 20 of them. it depends on what im doing also, but i usually have my dashboard filled with widgets. i dont have my mac with me now so i couldnt list them.

I use way too many widgies! I love em. I need them. I want them. Here are my useful widgets: Accuweather 6 Day Forecast World Clock Calendar Sunlit Earth Radar in Motion v6.0 Unit Converter Flight Tracker Translation Sing Pod Security Spy Phone Book Dictionary and my very favorite....DASH COOK.

Why are so many people whining about display space? I layer my widgets because some of them I don't use often, but like to keep up like Translate and Dictionary. Phone Book doesn't require much space and it will overflow another widget when you use it. So, on my 12" Powerbook, I have 13 widgets open. 1. Calculator (It's amazing how much I use it!) 2. Google (I think they could have slimmed that red box down some.) 3. TV Tracker 4. Transmit 5. Sticky 6. Weather 7. iTunes 8. Translate 9. Dash Monitors 10. Dictionary 11. Yahoo! Traffic (Very handy). 12. Phone book. 13. Address Book (Seems better than keeping the app open.) All of that on a 12" screen. Layer your widgets and you can enjoy even more widget happiness.

Let's see... 1) Weather (x2) 2) Clocks (x2) 3) Calculator 4) Gmail stamp thingy 5) Battery info 6) iTunes controller 7) Google Maps 8) LJpost thingy 9) Package Tracker 10) Air Traffic control 11) Converter 12) Countdown clock 13) Calender 14) Rogers Wireless text message widget (allows me to send text messages to anyone on the Rogers network up here in Canada!)

The idea of Dashboard and Widgets is really cool. But to be honest I never, ever use it. It really seems pointless and it's so out of the way.
