2005/07/17 Systat Widget

As described at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/sysstat.html:

SysStat 0.99 Freeware
Allows you to view memory usage, CPU usage, network stats, uptimes,
load averages and the top 3 processes from one simple widget.
 

If you download that with Safari, it gets installed in your ~/Library/Widgets directory. If you use anything else, it won't be, and you'll need to copy the .wdgt file there or to /library/Widgets if you want it available to all users. You need to do a "killall Dock" in Terminal to get the widget to show up, or just double click on it.

Apple has an RSS feed at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/home/recent.rss for new widgets. People are developing the darndest things; most of these won't interest you, but I'd be surprised if you don't find something you like.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
