Bob,
Great info too. While I haven't had the chance to scan through the
Web sites, they look interesting. I'm hoping that it won't be too
costly though. We're not going to be on a huge budget but want to
maintain contact especially with an aged (over 90) family member and,
if we can do that easily and efficiently, with other family members
not to mention be able to use those bits of weather info. I'm sure
some things will be on our "wish" list.
Rick
