We were at Nkorho when they fired up the uplink. It's great to "go back."

Jules,
That's exactly what I'm doing, except since I work out of my house, I've got the volume up.

My cats are 'snooping' around the computer trying to find out where
the chirps are coming from. Too funny!

My cat, too. She loves the birds on the Nkorho stream and comes running to the computer immediately.

Oh my gosh I am just dying here listening to this wanting to be there! I too have the volume up but not too much or I will do no work! Only 37 days until we leave to return to Tanzania.
I need to figure out if I can record this in any way to listen to on the CD in the car??! Any ideas?

I can just imagine the cats are loving it!

Oh my gosh (my words exactly also) this is exactly what I do not need. Some other addictive Africa thing to waste my time on!

Pretty awesome waterhole webcam, huh? Thanks divewop

Well I've created a monster for myself. First thing I do as soon as I turn on my computer is open the Nkorho cam.

This morning there are loads of wildebeest and impala with bunches of calves springing around all over the place. And it looks like a few rain showers in S.A.

There they go...off into the bush...bye guys!

I've got a Mac. Don't know if I can help, but I'll try.
Tell me where you're running into a problem and we'll go from there.

Try searching -- there was a Mac and Africam thread too. They might have talked about how to fix it (don't have a Mac so not sure).
