Wow! :blink: TWC sure did forget to update that XL. The base map graphics didn't change. :blink:

When my XL was upgraded in early 2002 it still had the old basemap and 1998 title bars on the regional conditions and forecast until the metro maps came that summer. Around that same time, the narration was removed.
