SLIMLINE DASHBOARD

         Hewlett Packard has come out with Dashboard for Windows.
         The $99.00 package is a new version.  Version 2.0 and is
         strengthening by a multitude of smart improvements,
         including a slick SOS windows, many drag and drop
         features, a hard disk monitor that reports free disk
         space, a calendar and plenty of options to customize.  You
         can upgrade for $29.00.

         The default look hasn't changed but the new DOS command
         line window with more funtions is something to really look
         at.  The main part of the popup looks like a DOS command
         line, but you can launch both Windows and DOS applications
         from it.  The great features like clipboard and drag and
         drop support are also included in the DOS command line.

         New customization features include an option to change
         Dashboard from horizontal to vertical orientation, color
         and font control, and resizing capabilities for the main
         window and subpanels

         I'll tell you that since my friend bought this product
         I've really missed not seeing this on my screen at home.
         To me this is an extensive upgrade.

         Look for it in your local computer superstore.
