WeatherSTAR 4000 emulator?

Yes, you heard correct. If you don't know what a WeatherSTAR 4000 is, you may want to check this link to see the wiki. The WeatherSTAR4000 program is a fully featured, customizable emulator of the 4000 generation of The Weather Channel's local forecast that you run on your computer. It shows the latest, up to date weather information pulled from the National Weather Service. It takes care of keeping this information up to date. It has every segment in the local forecast with exception to the Tides and Outlook screens. You can customize the lineup and choose which segments to show and which not.

What do I need to run it? You will need a recent (last 5 years) computer, with an 800mhz CPU speed or higher. 256MB of ram or more is recommended. You also need the Microsoft .NET framework installed.

How much does it cost? It doesn't cost anything! I developed this program primarily to teach myself how to program in object oriented languages better, and to learn the .NET platform; I also have a fascination with the WeatherSTAR technology, and have always wanted to be able to run/customize my own.

Convinced? Want to install it? Head over to the forums to get started.

I just wanted to say that i think it is awesome that you guys made a WeatherSTAR emulator!! it is the coolest thing ever! it is so fun to be able to get forecasts from a WeatherSTAR version that you dont have (our cable company has Intellistar). I think that every TWC fan should have this!!! Thanks so much! -Gil, taiganet.com forums

This is by far the coolest thing that I have ever seen. Being a TWC junkie, this is heaven. -msfantoo, taiganet.com forums

I just wanted to thank you for taking all this time to develop a program, that I must say, is one of the most amazing simuations of any applied premise that I have ever seen! Every detail has been carefully crafted and duplicated. I am sorry if it seems that I am gushing over this, but this is one of the best computer programs I have ever seen. Thank you again, and please know that your hard work is much appreciated. You guys really deserve more of an honor that my words can express...and some money for it, too! Thanks again! -gameshowlover72, taiganet.com forums
