I used to run a web cam for a number of years -I worked in the Lochaber area when PS Computers, as it was then, set up their webcams - at the time these things were fairly new. Used to be a good way of driving traffic to a web site - some of them get a huge number of hits
(BTW, webmaster, do you know how many hits the Gorms cams get? I reckon it must be quite a lot.)
The downside is the bandwidth it can suck up. Also, if it goes down you get all these email enquiries. Worst thing is if you take it down permanently, you still get loads of enquiries - wheres it gone sort of thing!
I used to use a bit of software called I-Spy - I dont think it is a vailablle any more though.
The only ISle of Mull cam currently working (that I know of) is at:

It looks at Ben More.
All this talk of cams has got me interested in setting the blooming thing up again..... I'll post the URL when I do!
Bye for now
