A great new idea is hitting Electric Utilities' websites in America -
Apogee Interactive Inc. are providing them with StormCentral, a Storm
Center application that shows customers where outages are occurring in
their areas - how long they are expected to continue, how many
customers are out etc. Especially useful to the media apparently.

Check the demo out (not the final version, a beta) at:
http://demo.apogee.net/stormcentral

For further info contact Michelle Johnston 678 357 3661 or go to
Apogee website www.apogee.net

I gather that if the power outage is in ~your~ area, the software warns
you by causing your computer screen to go black...? ;^)
