Opera Widgets

http://widgets.opera.com/

Earthquake updates, a virtual aquarium, and a ninja maze are but a few of the hundreds of widgets that users of the popular Opera browser can find on this site. First-time visitors to the site can search the “Editor’s Picks”, or just browse around through the wide, wide world of these widgets which have been created by various free spirits and other more stolid corporate entities. For those who are looking to return to the pre-digital age, there’s even an analog clock widget available. Needless to say, visitors who wish to use these widgets need to have Opera 9 installed on their computers. [KMG]



ePrompter 2.0

http://www.eprompter.com/

Oh, the bother of checking multiple email accounts! For those who are bothered by such matters, never fear, as ePrompter 2.0 is here. ePrompter 2.0 lets users automatically check up to sixteen different password-protected email accounts, including such popular services as those offered by AIM, Hotmail, Gmail, and so on. Visitors can even make use of five screensavers that allow them to see how many new messages they have in each account. This version of ePrompter is compatible with computers running any version of Windows. [KMG]
