There’s a new version of SBSH’s PocketWeather just blown in. If your a traveller, or even a horticulturist, and need current weather information easily to hand, this could be just the program for you. Seriously, I’ve been playing with it, with a fraudulent resume and this program on my Pocket PC I think I could wangle a job at the Bureau of Meteorology. [not that I'm suggesting you try this]. This upgrade is just a little Chrissy present from SBSH to you, and hopefully it’s not just going to tell you snow, snow, snow, to put a dampener on your holiday festivities.
