I'm sure most of us order a lot of parts. I found a Vista Sidebar gadget that makes tracking em easy.

I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with the Vista Sidebar.

The package tracker sits right over here.

Just click the little + sign to add a package. I have used it with UPS and FedEx and both worked fine. Other carriers are prolly supported too.

And just like that, the shipping status is on your desktop. Automatically refreshes, and you can click each item for a more detailed view.

If you have Vista, you can get this right here.

Not a big fan of vista here.. my 2 year old laptop can play COD4 (call of duty 4) better than my friend's brand new laptop with vista on it.. He has twice the ram, twice the processing speed, etc as me and the game runs choppy as hell on low graphics settings 4 him. We both have the integrated ATI graphics chip (he has a way way newer one). I will admit vista looks awesome though...
