Actually I had in mind temporary taping--like using a couple of small
pieces just to hold it together while it goes through the printer. Then
you remove the scrap end--which doesn't have anything printed on it
anyway. Comprendo?

I guess there are varying definitions. In UI-speak (user interface) I
think refers to small graphical elements that get used to create the
interface: corners, the little x box in the upper right hand window
corner--stuff like that. I'm sort of guessing based on how I've seen the
word used. I've never actually done anything with widgets myself, and
doubt I ever will.
