yeah i deleted it because it was sunny.
something about using aol servers = bad news.
hopefully addresses a few problems....at work so i can't try it out till tonight...g

Just downloaded, am trying now...
wow, it appears to be actually giving correct temperature data...
we shall see...
Kudos to Lisa and Ben at Glu for rewriting the app to take advantage of new (and more reliable) data sources.

[PS: With the level of developer support and commitment demonstrated in this version, I finally decided to pay the $8 shareware fee. It's the price of a magazine, well worth it.]

Indeed it does, Esch.

Still plugging away with one year to go. Crazy busy trying to keep on top of school and finding a job for after graduation. I should really stop wasting time reading up on the latest shareware at Mac rumors websites. Still no immediate plans for an AI BBQ (my Base Station suffered the burned transistor problem and I really need to get my academic/professional life under control first). But maybe next spring will be better.

<strong>WeatherPop 1.5.1 is still not working here, any thought?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Kenneth: Have you tried deleting your old WeatherPop preferences file? If not, go to the "Preferences" folder inside the "Library" folder in your home directory and delete the "com.glu.WeatherPop.plist" file. This fixed everything for me.

<strong>if you pay the $8, does weatherpop automatically update, not like every 30 minutes, but maybe every 1-5 minutes? is there anything else that you get by paying, or is it just a courtesy thing for the programmers?</strong><hr></blockquote>
You get a lot of other features with WP Advance. Like color menu items and forecasts. Personally, the standard version was all I needed. Even if you could change the increments of updating to 1 minute, it wouldn't matter in the least because the national weather service only updates their data hourly.
advanced gives you 5 day forecast, humidity, winds etc.....free just gives you current temp and conditions....
