As you can see, I'm trying different weather services.  What I really need is a weather web service that allows me to extract the data I need to and put it in the dimensions and space I want, rather than the predefined layout I get through either Intellicast or The Weather Channel.  I would be more than happy to let everyone know which service I am getting the data from through an image of some sort.

I am buying a new laptop today.  With some of the impending changes, looks like I'll need to provide my own tools on the job.  I am buying one of the new HP zt1000 series, the zt1180 to be specific.  It is a truly powerful machine: 1.2GHz PIII-M processor, 512MB of RAM, a 40GB HDD, and a 15" TFT display.  All of this for just under $2,000.  It also has three USB ports, a firewire port, on board modem and NIC.  Here's the link if you want to take a look:  HP zt1000 series.
