Now that looks very cool.  How does it work?  You get an account on
their website and configure your location and then configure the screen
saver to pull the updated image periodically?

If I had one of the supported players I'd pay for it but I had been
using the SB3 I got as a gift years ago and when it died I replaced it
and got an extra from ebay.  I wonder if your subscription was being
used to pay for a premium WU account or was it just accessing the data
for free which is probably why IBM decided to cut out the free access.
