Speaking of updates, I tried to access the NOAA/NCEP GFS plots yesterday
evening, only to discover that they had changed all of the URLs for the second
time in less than 2 years. I had to plug in the Win7 hard drive to get to
their top page and make my way down to the new image server. They had added
ten or so characters to the URLs. It took me a half hour just to change all of
the VT URLs in IE8, then export them as an HTML file for Firefox to import. I
have yet to do the RH URLs, or the ones for the spaghetti charts.
