Default Parents on internet!

My mum and dad are down in Essex this weekend, getting my dad's new boat ready so he can sail it up the East coast back up North.

Anyway, the boatyard has a webcam! So now I'm sitting watching my parents from Australia!

Hiya Jane,
Its strange isnt it, do they use it usually? Will trained his Mum before we came and shes on here a lot now.
When the post is slow it makes you realise how invaluable the internet is, I wonder if new arrivals felt a lot more isolated prior to e-mails? I'd miss my daily updates

We won't be going for ages yet () but we've already set our parents up with webcams and got them into using MSN Messenger. That way we can still see everybody every day . Isn't the internet great?

We have webcams but don't use them yet as I'm not happy about security. When Jim has more time he's going to write some software so that we can use our own PC as a server so that only we have access to it. In the meantime we have weekly phonecalls and emails only if something's come up.

Mum is coming over September time.
