Hey, Mark,
Sorry it has taken me a while to respond. I finally found a
chance to play with the Dashboard. Fun times!
I'll blow you up on Skype sometime this weekend. Hope
everything is cool!

Ezzy:
I can help out with Dashboard off list, if you want, via Skype,
as we have before. Very briefly:
Pressing F4, or Function F-12, depending on how your keyboard
preferences are configured, will bring up Dashboard. Dashboard
is a series of widgets, mini-apps, which are like tiny little
tools you might keep on the dashboard of your car--tweezers,
mini-flashlight, cigarette lighter, gold-framed photo of me,
whatever.
Choosing which widget you want is done by hitting VO F2 (OR VO
Function F2, depending on the above keyboard settings) twice
quickly. Then, use the up and down arrows until you come to
Weather, and press Enter.
To change the forecast shown, VO right arrow until you come to an
image labeled with the name of the city whose forecast is
currently being shown. This is important: You MUST VO SHIFT
Space bar on this image, to enact a mouse click, otherwise
nothing will happen.
If you VO Shift Space on this "(city name) info," image, it
should bring up an edit box in which you can type the zip code
for your city. Once you type that in, VO navigate to the "DONE,"
button and, once again, you must mouse-click, or VO SHIFt
Space-bar, on it. This should set it up to always bring up your
forecast when you hit F4 or whatever your keyboard is set for.
Hope that helps--blow up my Skype if not.
Sorry for the "very brief," lie in the beginning; really,
everything I say is a lie.
