Ten years ago yesterday, The Weather Channel's analog feed was shut off for the final time. With that move, the Weather Star 4000, XL, and Jr. were all sadly discontinued and the network moved towards the homogenized look it has today. Of course, it's possible to use those Stars today with some tinkering, but most affected by the shutdown was the 4000, whose software was completely lost as a result. Of course, however, we know that's not where the story ends. A testament to the bounceback that our community has, the reverse engineering of the 4000 by our very own @THEtechknight only a few years afterwards brought this iconic machine back to life, and so here it is, 10 years after a shutoff everyone thought would be permanent.
