I will start using the emulator as soon as I get my computer working again, hopefully soon. Sorry for the delay.

If you want to pick every little part then i guess not but the 4000 emulator has had no problems so dont expect any issues with this emulator

I think that even though by the letter of the law this would technically be illegal we'll be alright. As Martin said, the 4000 has never run into an y problems with TWC. I think that's because this sort of thing isn't done for profit, but rather just for the fun of it. I think TWC would have more issues with this sort of thing if someone were profiting or benefiting in some way from it.

the program is created more for weather awareness and safety, expressly used for personal enthusiastic purposes, not even a profit.. although the NWS is established by the department of commerce.. go figure..

Let's just put it this way - If TWC had a problem with it, they would certainly put an end to it. That goes for the 4000 emulator too.


However, seeing as neither of the systems are in use (WeatherScan XL discontinued in 2003), or are considered "Legacy/Obsolete", I don't think they would have a problem

FYI, I'm back to using the emulator, this time on the family computer since mine still isn't working. The emulator looks great! Really takes me back. B)

I'm using the trial key right now. When it expires I'll post my fingerprint for a longer key.
