Much improved
I like the fact that you can now add/delete/edit the webcams as you see fit (no more broken links, and I can add the cams for my old hometown of Winnipeg). It's also quite a bit faster, which the previous verison was definitely not. There is an upgrade price if you have a previous version (I think $10 or $12).
