Cumulus History

I was going through all the nifty things Cumulus will do and began wondering how long ago cumulus began.

Is the history of Cumulus and Sandysoft posted some where?

There isn't really a documented history as such, but the changes.txt file goes right back to:

Version 1.0 27th January 2004 First release.

I got my first weather station - an Oregon Scientific WMR 928 - when we first moved to Scotland (Dumfriesshire) in August 2003, and being unable to find any software that I liked and did what I wanted (although FreeWX came close) I started writing my own, and was later persuaded to make it available to others.

From everyone's post and mine, we are glad you had the drive to push Cumulus to what it is today. Such a rich product.

Did you ever think it would get to this level when you first started?
