4000, of course. But the version circa 1991-92 w/the fizzle effect. :cool2:
What is the "fizzle effect"?

The fade transition between certain pages like the TCF, Regional Forecast, etc.

Oh...So why not say "fade transition"? I saw a video of that once. Why did they remove it??

B/c it fizzled. It didn't fade. Not sure why they removed it.

I found it weird how they only had the fizzle effect for transitions to and from the regional forecast. Why not have it in all of the screens?

It would've been too repeatative and gotten old/annoying really fast...

If I could have another STAR it would be the Weather Star XL v.1. The reason being is that I miss the old graphics of that system during 1999-2001. I sure did love those graphics. :wub:

To be honest...the 3000/Jr.  I've never had a text-based STAR.
