 Does anyone know of a free or very low cost source for weather information
 that would work on the EEE PC?

 You mean in the air via the net. 3G might work. You can get the NOAA
 weather
 channel on the net. I know they don't like cell phones (3G) working in
 light planes
 but they do work.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.Yes, in flight, near real-time
weather is what I'm interested in.Short of a subscription service, is
there anything in public domain that can legally be downloaded while in
flight?

Check out www.approachsystems.com APIC software- it runs on Windows
XP/2000/Vista/etc, is cheap and has most of the GPS system features
including an XM weather overlay.
