This is woefully off-topic, but since it is of historical interest, I thought perhaps you wouldn't mind. The USS New Jersey [one of four of the Iowa-class, the greatest battleships ever built] is presently under tow from Washington state to New Jersey, via the Panama Canal. She is in or near the Balboa anchorage on the south end of the canal as we speak. She will remain in the canal area for the next few days to celebrate not only the [likely] last transit of the canal by a battleship, but also the 100th anniversary of the canal itself. New Jersey is scheduled to actually transit the canal on October 18th, around mid-afternoon eastern time, with all the pomp and circumstance accorded to such an occasion. In case the news media is absent or ignorant of the event, you can view a live webcast from the Miraflores locks: http://www.pancanal.com/photo/camera-java.html (The page says you have to have Netscape 4.6 (or some specific version of Explorer) to view the picture, but I have Netscape 4.5 and it works fine. There are some other things you have to have, such as Java, etc., but I don't know all that gibberish. My 5-year-old Mac at home can view the webcam just fine... my Gateway at work can't view it. No doubt some specific software is lacking, but don't ask me what. I don't do windoze...) You can also read a log of the last journey of the New Jersey, and other interesting history of the ship, at http://www.battleship-newjersey.com/voyage.html Enjoy.
