    TOMIS  It tells me it needs to download and instal a plugin?

    Widgets should be self contained. They should not need to instal crap in my system in order to work. This is totally absurd. Right to the trash with this one. And a quick search for "unity" brings up the plugin sitting happily in my internet plugins folder. Right to the trash with that too.

    They could have implemented this using flash or shockwave and had a seamless user experience. Heck, even Java 3D would have been a good idea.

    Okay, it's really useful, but it's amusing.

    DAVEYJJ  You need to actually click and hold the button right in the middle for it to work. A quick click and release won't do it. Just like the old toys. If that doesn't work for you, please email us with machine type/specs etc and we'll work on a fix. Thanks for your kind review! The WidgetMonkey gang.

    FLARCH  Cool AND cute!

    Okay, so it takes an extra download and significant processor use. It still makes that stupid Hula Girl widget look like the idiotic garbage it is!

    Downside is, i get no reaction from the button. 8'o(

    What's the secret?
