Your favorite version of Weatherscan

Mine is the IntelliStar V.1, especially before February 2005. XL V.2 is a close second.

By far, my most favorite version was the first one from 1999-2001.

I remembered watching WxScan everyday, with beautiful Trammell music and the Comcast logo in the lower right.

My favorite is the XL v.2. That was the version we had here when I first discovered WxScan in 2003. I had had satellite up to that point, and of course you don't get WxScan on satellite.

IS v1. Although the only one I've seen live was the IS v2, the IS v1 seems a lot less busy and actually looks half decent.
My super-awesome website!

I agree. that's one reason I HATE the IS V.2. watching for just a few seconds drives me nuts with all that information constantly coming at me.  :wacko:
