COOL WAYS OF MONITORING CONDITIONS ON THE NET

Internet Weather refers to the delays between sites and changes in them during the day. Storms occur on the internet at peak use times or when equipment fails. They can be displayed similar to traditional weather maps. I was unable to get these sites to display during the meeting but they are now working. Check out the colorful MIDS graphs. I think they are very "cool."

• MIDS might want a high speed connection to view this one. Be sure to checkout the internet weather maps.
