For those wondering, “How are things in Glocca Morra?” this little extension program may be just the thing. Of course, Glocca Morra is just a fictional locale featured in the musical “Finian’s Rainbow”, but visitors can use this program to look up current weather locations in several thousand real places. Visitors can customize the small toolbar as they see fit, and the program is available in a number of languages, including Bulgarian and Turkish. This particular version is compatible with all computers running Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP. [KMG]
