Thanks, Tim!  Gee and I thought my big accomplishment was an in-place 
upgrade from XP to Win 7 without screwing up my logging program and 
reinstalling all my applications!

Seriously, though, now comes the *real* work: using all those 
observations to make something useful! These data are only the tip of 
the proverbial iceberg because we have lots of numerical model 
analysis fields to process and even more radar data to process. It 
adds up to terabytes of data altogether. And NPR said they'd check on 
our progress in a year, so the pressure's on!

Thanks again for all the kudos!

73,

Kim N5OP
