    Weather.com is useless for the Seattle area. All they can do for here is "nowcast".

    spyware? Would you elaborate?
    I have gotten a few offers to upgrade from weatherbug and a few ads on some software deals which were great. But other spam?
    It does take forever to get the forecasts, though.

    spyware...it's kinda like a second software program embedded in the one you installed. it secretly sends out info on what you do on your computer. a database collects it and sells it to other companies. it's how spam gets people to bug sorta. a lot of software has spyware...gozilla, audiogalazy, netzero...etc..

    oh, i didn't know weatherbug has that. oh well. the spam i get goes into some bunk account anyhow. it's more accurate than checking the daily forcast on the weather.com webpage for me. so i keep.
