Do you have any funny little tools or gadgets on your computer that you use all the time and find very helpful?

Are you on Windows? I use this gadget called Rocket Dock that replicates the bar thingy on a Mac.

The Mac Dashboard is pretty useful and cool to look at. My favorite is the Thesaurus and Dictionary bar.

Launchy has made using my computer a much more efficient experience.

I’m not a very sophisticated computer user and you’re probably not going to like my answer. Sitting on the foot of my I-Mac is a seven inch stuffed sea otter on its back and holding a starfish. It’s for cleaning my computer screen. Non-technical as can be, but I like it.

Who am I not to like your screen cleaning device? If it works for you, it is a good device.

I used GeekTool to spice up my second monitor.

I like to keep Maxa Cookie Manager running when I’m online. It at least gives me the illusion of protecting my privacy and I get a little satisfaction from zapping the tracking cookies as soon as they show up.

Thank you everybody, I will try some of these out. It just occurred to me I find lots of interesting little things and I wondered what tools you found very useful. Thanks!
