Note: Mac geekiness to follow...
This month's MacAddict has a nice tip for turning the dashboard on and off in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). This is useful if you find things running slowly due to memory issues, like I did on my iBook. I'm putting it here because I know I'll misplace the magazine at some point.
Turning off Dashboard
----
Open a terminal window and enter this:defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
and then enter:
killall Dock
Turning on Dashboard
----
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NOand then enter:
killall Dock
Enjoy.
