When visiting www.pricewatch.com, users can select from a category of hardware. 
 If "hard drives" is chosen, a split window is used to display the minimal 
prices in all sub-categories.  A small example follows:

<SNIP>
$80  -  EIDE 160GB 
$67  -  EIDE 120GB 
$62  -  EIDE 100GB 
$49  -  EIDE 80.0GB
<SNIP>

I wish this information displayed on my desktop.

The application would connect to www.pricewatch.com, read all categories of 
merchandise, select a catagory, and read the pricing information.  Depending on 
how the app is configured, you could display all Hard Drive prices on your 
desktop.

Wait!  I was going to seek ideas about the construction of such an animal, but 
KDE 3.2.1->Control Center has an option to display a web page on the desktop.  
I'll investigate that solution.

Thanks for listening as I thought,
