I just saw this on the net. The premier hurricane-tracking software, Global Tracks brings storms dating back as far as 1886, right to your desktop. This application features better graphics. I think there is a free trial download.
I just thought you might want to check it out.

Call me Crazy, or really old (I'm 28), But I really like to use a paper chart too! My son and I have one in the computer room we update everyday.

"Global Tracks Version 6 sales are closed due to the near future release of version 7"
Funny, shutting down sales and releasing a new version of their hurricane tracking software program RIGHT in the middle of one of the bussiest hurricane seasons on record... ahhhhhh what's wrong with this picture?

Yeah, they released 7 on July 11th and I got a 10-day trial from the official site (not this one) and the downloader to get updates was horrible. I guess new pieces of software are destined to have some bugs, but that many bugs aren't worth the $55.

I prefer to use paper charts too. Still have many paper maps of previous seasons.

I copied the NHC tracking charts (at the bottom of the NHC homepage) and use them on paint. I make my own track but on the computer...
