I'm with Ed on this one. Dashboard is a must have addition and well
worth the $25 US.

The only unfortunate note to Dashboard is that the source code is
(was?) lost. I got with Mason Mark in April of '07 about Dashboard
breaking in Einstein, when trying to use non-standard screen sizes,
and the short answer was that he now longer had his personal backup of
the source code and "The company [Five Speed Software] has backups
from 1999, on CDROM, which are currently in storage but nobody knows
quite where."
