If I want to know the weather, I'll check outside, or my local

the CD would launch Dashboard until I discovered that you had to
hold the key down for a bit longer then the drive would
eject....how annoying!
Or you could go to the preference pane "Dashboard & Expose" and
turn off or change that key command . . .
I have an eject key, so I map F12 to show desktop, F11 to dashboard
(which I use VERY rarely), and turn off any key command for the
other Expose stuff.

I got rid of Dashboard because I never liked it and it was eating up
CPU cycles, but apparently if one does, you should reactivate it for
any System updates. But, that is an aside.
Weather forecasts are very important to me and since I have no TV in
my office and looking outside doesn't tell me the forecast, I rely
heavily on WeatherMenu. I used to use WeatherPop, but found it
lacking compared to WeatherMenu.
