Well, I sort of got my new one set up now. It was about time for a fresh start. My last one was right after KDE4 came out.

When I searched a good while back, it was not certain how to do it. Maybe I need to google some and see if I can figure this out. I like the temp outside applet but really like the little 5 day forecast one. I can open the back door and see if it is raining, hot, cold or whatever. That doesn't help me much for tomorrow tho. ;-) Now that I think about it, I believe it was something at NOAA that got changed too. It's been a while so I can't recall all the details but I do recall it was not just me having trouble. If this next upgrade doesn't have a fix, I may do a bug search then google some. Heck, its been broke so long, I don't miss it much now. Of course, if it starts working again, I'd get used to it being back. ;-) Dale :-) :-) P. S. Sorry so long to reply.
