While many applications seem to afford users the ability to effectively multi-task, this small application allows users the ability multi-task by layering a web browser over their existing desktop. The application can also be customized, as users can specify an automatic refresh interval so that the page on the desktop is automated at various intervals. Some potential uses include tracking the orbit of satellites, monitoring stock quotes and keeping track of online auctions. WebDesktop 2.2 is compatible with all systems running Mac OS X 10.2 and Safari 1.0 [KMG]
