Hey All and Merry Christmas!
First of all, before divulging into the core message of this topic, I would like to place some thanks out there. First I would like to thank Martin, my 'operations officer' for this project. Martin is a very enthusiastic member to this project who has actually kept me motivated in continuing to add new and neat features into an ever so classic product originally designed by an unknown visionary at The Weather Channel. Martin, who demonstrates great maturity at his age has helped oversee the day to day tasks of helping TWC fanatics with setting up and configuring the emulator. While undertaking that role, he has helped me stay focused on the programming aspect, which to my dismay to say is a very challenging task. I am glad to say that I have accomplished more of my goal in the last few months than I have done in possibly the entire life of the project, although each time period should be treated as equally challenging. He is not only a great asset to this project, but im sure to other TWC fanatic avenues as well.
Another person I would like to thank is Lee (LMolineux), whom (to my memory) I met on TWCC back in 2002, shortly later, I met him in person, and he shares my interest in TWC music, the technical aspect of weather, and my daily involvement in the business and sport of bowling. I have had good and bad times in my life, and thankfully hes been a consistent friend throughout the time. I also am more than greatful that he has elected me to be his best man in his wedding, to which im still somewhat speechless.
Other people who I would like to thank are my family and the people who I work with, who are my second family. Who (both) not only put up with my fixation with leaving the television on a single channel, but also share/understand my serious but somewhat sarcastic and comical personality.
Ultimately, I would like to thank YOU for reading and sharing your interest in this project! Without you, I would throw the shovel in and call it a day.
And yeah, Dave Schwartz, an original man that could never be replaced.
Anyway, onto the primary subject..
I created this topic to gain your feedback on the the overall feeling you have on the emulator, I would like you to score/elaborate on the following, using the most words you can:
-Initial Installation (How hard was it to get running?)
-Configuration (Is this easy/hard method to configure the emulator, using the cfg'n site?)
-Packages Available (Do they cater to your needs?)
-Technical Support (Do Martin and I help you in a timely manner, are we able to solve your problems?)
-Discouraging Factor (Does something about this program not want you to undertake setting it up or frustrate you?)
-Reusage Value (After your initial experience, how likely are you use the program again?)
-Personal Value (The most important, is this emulator worth or a waste of your time?)
After not seeing posts on the project's forums for quite some time, I am attempting to determine the future of this project. If there is anything I can do to revitalize the project, your feedback is most helpful! I need your feedback, sooner than later is most appreciated, although at your earliest convience is the best!
Have a Merry Christmas and a Healthy/Safe New Year!!
Brian
