Just got my request in!

Good morning, Martin.

Thank you for contacting The Weather Channel Interactive.

I will ask on camera meteorologist Marshall Seese to autograph a publicity
photo for you.

We are always happy to hear from our viewers and hope you will continue to
watch The Weather Channel for many years to come.

Sincerely,
Chris Hoitsma

the radar/satellite images i use with the emulator are latitude/longitude centered, this helps for a more local radar in terms of the maps. in my opinion, i do not like the other maps. there are other maps that can be used, but i can post a few samples of those and get some opinions of those

Sounds go. We can get a poll up sometime

You could always install Windows on a seperate hard drive, so you can still access your old drive to get files off.

Buy a cheap drive, and do this. Also three years on a Compaq is most likely starting to push on the old end. It may be worth it to upgrade to another computer. For about $280 I got a Compaq, Dual Core PC with 3gb RAM, DVD/CD RW. Im using it as a second server now but my point is the price to repair your computer vs purchasing a new one is small these days.

I don't buy into this philosophy at all. Age, like in humans, is but a number. If the computer does you fine, why spend the money? At three years old that computer is at least 1.5 Ghz, if not more. Unless your into architecture or some other resource hogging endeavor you don't need anything more than that. Bottom line: don't get rid of your computer just because its a couple years old.

Very true. I guess it all depends on what you use your pc for

Is this legal?

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

But you gotta admit...getting Election returns from Dave, Rich, Adam, and Sharon would be amazing.

ADAM:  This is one great Chooseday, Election Day!
DAVE:  That's right, my friends.  We're here for all the election returns!  Let's go to those results from Maine with Rich.
RICH:  Yeah, let's do that.  <insert results>.  How about down south with Sharon?
SHARON:  Yeah, let do so and go to Florida!

By any chance could the emulator use the normal/original radar maps off of
weather.com?

The radar maps are from TWC. They are from TWC Gold IIRC

Do you see any indications of your OS starting up? Try tapping F8 after the BIOS screen and see if you get any options to boot in safe mode or last good know configuration. Also how old is your computer?
