However, here's the reason why I have a problem with how Acu-Rite (or more correctly, Chaney Instrument Co) have managed things. I think Acu-Rite's internet bridge is the right path for them to go down as it makes the process totally independent of a user's other computing hardware/software. I've also just posted a question to this forum about weather stations compatible with Macs - so it may be worth you following (assuming I get some responses). Otherwise you can buy a station compatible with one of the following Mac native software packages: This software is a little cumbersome because it is extremely customisable and has a lot to it, although you probably won't need 95% of the features. I know the developer is currently working on a revised Mac version to improve Acu-Rite support. If you're otherwise happy with the unit, you could check out Weather Display as there is a Mac version and it officially supports the Acu-Rite 01035 (so will almost certainly work with the 01036). I've been doing some research on models that will work more nicely with a Mac, but almost certainly you're going to have to buy 3rd party software anyway. Will almost certainly return it - besides the fact that the packaging for this unit is extremely misleading - I'm also in Australia and the Acu-Rite backyard service is useless if you're not in the US or Canada. Yes, I'm in almost the exact same situation, having bought an Acu-Rite 02032C only to find the exact same thing.
