The F4 Key

Hi,

Just a curious question about the 'F4' key, on the Macbook Pro.

I pressed this key just now, and it displays a calculator, timezone, weather and date calender.

I noticed that the timezone was set completely differently to what I thought was already on my computer (London GMT) and my location on the weather was set for a different part of the world all round.

My question is: Does this F4 shortcut outlay the actual settings for my mac? As the main 24hours clock displayed in the top right hand corner has always been correct.

Cheers

No, the F4 key activates something call Dashboard. Dashboard has a few small apps that gather simple information quickly. You have to manually change them. When you move your mouse onto the app, there is a small i that would appear. Click on that i and the widget would flip around for you to change the information.
