I'm not sure why you think that's "strange" or what point you're trying to make here. As for not knowing your airport code, the vast majority of people do know them, even if you don't. And I'll guarantee you that significantly more people know their airport code than know their obscure Yahoo! weather code. Google for airport code or ICAO code if you want to find yours. > which also brings another question. how do you provide a weather > forecast for a location that has no airport? That's exactly why Yahoo! uses a different system -- because it provides greater granularity. But it does so at the expense of accessibility. Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
