Roanoke Rail Camera

[NW Mailing List]

Ditto, Walt.  I know this is not a rail discussion, but have to put in my 2 cents.  My niece's husband does tech support for the Corporate Research Center in Blacksburg.  Tech just gave him a Mac Book that runs Windows too and he thinks it's great.  Why run Windows on a Mac?  Because the Mac runs Windows programs better!  At least in his opinion, and he's a real tech geek.  So that's good enough for me, and I'm seriously considering the Mac Book for my main computer.

    But why run Windoze on a Mac? :-)  That's a sacrilege to us Mac-heads.

    I have a Mac too...no dice on the web site.

      Parallels works great to run Windows if you have an Intel Mac!!

          Hotel Roanoke has put up a web camera at the following URL. Found the link off of the Hotel Roanoke website. Click on the image to launch the live camera view. In my limited testing, it didn't work with firefox. Seems to be a internet explorer activex applet.

        Seems to be a Windows-only thing -- which is too bad for us good folks who use Macintosh computers.  I had no luck
        viewing anything but a blue browser window with Firefox, Opera, and Safari on my Mac.  Oh well, I guess I'll have to be
        content with looking at the Virginia Tech campus with the web cams I maintain -- which AREN'T platform specific.
