i just heard about [Conky for Linux, and was pretty impressed by [URL=“http://lifehacker.com/5068294/beautifully-minimalist-conky-setup”]this](http://conky.sourceforge.net/). Too bad there isn’t a Windows counterpart (after a _very_ quick Google)  
And I thought if it was possible to create something similar in AIR.  
I probably won’t be able to do it, but maybe someone who reads this can. :beam:  
But if nobody does, maybe I’ll play around…

Can AIR do any of these?
