Macrumors says to wait on a new iMac purchase. Is this solely to wait for Leopard, or is another major update about to happen?

Anyone else unimpressed with Widgets? They're cool - sort of - but they're also enormous memory hogs! Each one consumes 100-200 MB of RAM, and holds onto that RAM until you log off. It's especially a problem when your machine that can hold no more than 1GB of RAM.
I don't suppose there is a way to run a Widget like a regular Application - open when you need it, closed (and no longer consuming memory!) when you don't?
In the meantime, I better check the "3 GB RAM" box on the iMac build-to-order page!

Load it into Photoshop, or some other image editing program, scale it or crop it, and save as a JPEG.
Alternatively, have a look at the following page, for how to take screen grabs of areas of the screen, rather than the whole of it:
