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
