By the way... I'm not all that big on the Weather Channel. They've become as insipid as the History Channel doing silly bits like "When Rain Showers Attack!!!"

I have tried several weather programs over the years and I found that Meteorologist is the best one to use and it is free. It is very robust in its' features and has a very low learning curve.
Picking cites is very easy to do by either entering the name and state or zip code. You can set what units to use (IE- ºF or ºC) which is very helpful depending where you live. The forecast can be set from 9 to 1 days. In the dock or menu you can access a quick look at current conditions and if you use ASM, you can access all the data you would get from the ASM menu. So if you had not tried ASM, now would be a good time to try it.
I do not think that even the programmer is aware of this link. This way if you do not want to put it in the menu, there is no need to or lack space. The only thing missing is a link to radar to help when a major storm system is moving in and you want to see what is happening around you.
The pity is if it is done PPC users will not be able to download that version unless the author does like the people at VLC, Make two version of the update or make a one more time a UB of the program.
As I said this program is totally non-invasive on you Mac due to it is a stand alone app. It does not use any screen space, it can show the data in the Menu, Dock, ASM and as I said it is free. So if you have been looking for a weather program with all these features this is number 1 in the top 10 of weather programs. End of Line...
Note- the overall rating should be a 5 but when I clicked on the star I was off by a like less than a mm and gave me a 4.5. So I apologize for that. MUD should offer a way to correct the star ratings when it gets a wrong selection.

I deleted the one p-list preference file I found in Library>Preferences. Is there more than one? Please list location of all preferences.
