(Do I hear the creaking of a large door opening?)
fife,
Nils Jameson (local eccentric and town magnate) the owner of Wausau Widgets here on the BlueBoard Central describes his product this way:
" Widgets are the combination of the best of traditional technology and cutting edge developements in the industry. They promise to make life easier in every way. Most folks who own one or more wonder how they have been able to get along without them. While the concept is rumored to go back to the ancient Aztec empire they have been readily adapted to modern technology and have the capability of enhancing the lifestyle of every modern day person. Our research and development department is constantly coming up with uses for widgets and will soon introduce an easily downloadable application. The goal of Wausau Widgets is to have one in the home of every citizen by the turn of the decade."
So there you have it fifedog. An explanation from the owner of the company himself.
