>  Dialog with the additional choice of user specific login preferences.

>  provide quick visual updates for such items as computer performance,
>  weather, time, and
>  news feeds. JAWS is constantly reading gadget updates to provide you
>  with real time information. For example, when monitoring the CPU meter
