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, Robert Tilley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
