Really? I thought it would cost more with the shipping/handling fees.

When did weather.com change most of their basemaps to reflect the ones used on TWC? I know it was some time after the basemaps on TWC changed (which I think was April or May 2006).

My house. I have a ton of blank tapes. 
VHS had phased out pretty quickly. When I went to buy my last set two years ago, they had plenty. The best place to get them now, unfortunately, would probably be Amazon.

Oh yeah, I've seen that before. I forgot about that.
Last weekend my IntelliStar had a traffic report screen with a description nearly as long as the one Gil posted when a major road in Philadelphia was closed due to a festival.

« on: May 15, 2008, 05:08:56 PM »
I just hope it doesn't take months for TWC to change the rest of the shows. Remember back in 2005 when it took them until the end of December (about four and a half months after the relaunch) to change all of the show graphics? And it was a gradual change too, as they changed the graphics for one show like every two weeks.

It's going to be really dreary here weatherwise over the next week. Everyday calls for a chance of rain and temperatures for the most part will only be in the 60's. Seems that we're in March now rather than May. 
We're roughly half way through the month and precip totals are already about 4.3 inches, which is above the average monthly total for May. Reminds me back in 2003 and 2004 when we had a good soaking rain at least two times a week during the spring.
