Oh pls - don't get so defensive. I was being constructive for heavens sake. I still maintain this needs qunatifying before people make the leap of faith. It's kinda like everybody rushing out to configure swap space on a separate partition or separate disk - what a waste of time.

My mac is a laptop, and one thing I hate, is when the CPU is ramped up for no good reason, and my noisy fan spins up. I don't use the world clock widget very often, so I probably won't make this change.

But the second hand is pretty useless, and I think it's definitely a good tip for anyone who is making extensive use of the widgets, or who use their widget-top as an idle screen or screensaver.
