I'm that guy off screen, haveing handily exceeded the average life time the media is going nuts over.

This is off topic as can be, but calling the service has never actually put me in touch with anybody that knew what I was talking about. so...

However, your sig makes me lodge a conplaint about a service thats has apparently been discontinued, eg the access to current conditions at "KCKB", or for that matter any other net station.

I have a system monitor called gkrellm that has a weather plugin, and its last valid connection was July 28th, 11:53 pm. I found it quite handy, and since it was a totally automated service, self updating at about 30 minute intervals, saw no financial advantage for NWS/you in shutting off that service. Can it not be restored? I believe the problem lies in the DNS lookup of KCKB or any other of the 4 letter station codes used for this service nationwide. You can PM me at gheskett at shentel dot net

Thanks to the TDE team letting me do "stuff I do all the time" like I always have!!

I'll second that!!

Of course I'll second that too. TDE gave me years of happy computing after KDE went in the wrong direction.
