Other than Win95&98, I haven't been really unhappy with their products. I'll buy the product and use it until it won't run on whatever new hardware. The "removal...from the real world" is that the customer is now the large-percentage stockholder (who uses neither Notepad nor Wordpad).

I read up on weather radio products after this flood news. The "Specific Area Message Encoding" protocol enables you to receive only those alerts that cover your immediate area. Of course, you have to have a radio that decodes those signals and you local authorities have to opt in, so it's not a cure-all. From reviews, getting the right radio and setting it up properly are non-trivial tasks.
