Managed to install current prod local app 0.3.33  on top of my old local app from 2011 after uninstalling both Air and the old local app. Yay! I like the new 'offline' daily data summary.

But now the temperature displays are suddenly in Celsius and there does not seem to be a menu for changing it to F as in the old app. I'd like to change to F. It's a simple code ((9/5)*degC)+32.  to convert from C to F, so I feel the app should provide the option to the user, and also be smarter about temp display defaults - ie if the locale on the machine is en_US, please default to F, and not C, even if the Classic logs in C.

Yeah they changed that a few revs ago. They removed it because the Classic's temps where in C and it was apparently causing a lot of support calls. There's another thread here some where on the topic.
