I still have Office 2003 at home, too. Office 2007 is installed at my school, and it is VERY CONFUSING! I trust that Office 2010 is much better. I wonder if the transition from 2003 to 2010 would be overwhelming...

Any change from 03 will be a big step but now that there is something new I think its a worth a go to adopt it! 2010 revises and improves some of the flaws of 2007. Its much cleaner and easier to navigate imo. If you held off from 2007, 2010 is a must!

It would be really cool if they could broadcast something like this simultaneously for every city, but I think that's impossible. This is really cool, though. The segment is very information-filled.

Well they could certainly improve on it though. If I were TWC, I would revamp those weather.com videos with some decent tv graphics and perhaps a little more content, then send them to the area STARS as well as post them online

Whew! My powerpoint and project for AP European History bumped me up to an A in that class! I am [now] happy with it Btw Office 2010 rocks!

LOVE Office 2010.

I started using it a while back in its early form and have really warmed up to it. I can't go back to 07. I am FINALLY glad to have web saving with the cloud built right in. Makes life so much easier

Has anybody else noticed that Stephanie Abrams is hardly ever on the show anymore?  I believe she only worked 5 out of the 20 days she could've worked in May. What is "on assignment" supposed to mean anyway?

She is probably taping shows for "Weather Proof."   I like Stephanie Abrams, but I do not think she should be an OCM on any show.  She is too busy with other shows for TWC.  Same with Jim Cantore.  Rarely are they in studio (that I know of).

They have personalities that are marketable and good for shows but I miss them as just regular OCMs. It seems they both, Steph in particular, are always busy and its lost that feel from the days when Abrams and Bettes was just an hour show at 8

Does it utilize dual-feed? If so, I bet it's because of the Penn Hills STAR, known for being a trial IS in the past.

Yes thats how they do it

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. I didn't think it would have too much of an impact on the system itself. Lets hope systems stay on the east side of the spill

Sorry for a slight bumpb, but is this something new? I thought we always talked about storms in the general "Hurricane Central" thread.

Its sort of why I created this subforum.  I thought it would be fun to try something new and more organized! If it doesn't work out we can go back to the way it always was

I really liked the music/graphics from 2006-2007. I know that was before HD, but I wish they were still used.

Great minds think alike The music and intros from 06-07 were my favorite! 2008 was a close second for me

Yeah, I like the graphic..
but the music could be different.

I agree. Graphic is quite stunning but the music doesn't appeal to me. I am just glad those intros using those whooshing noises from last year are gone

According to one of the DP producers there wasn't a technical error this afternoon, they just wanted to record more stuff with the FEMA director so they needed the studio
