new toy to play with

[ironside]

My friend just dropped off a logitech web cam
he needs to be able to setup 12 of these at a school system that he works for, so im the experimenter i get to play with it for a week to see how hard it is to do video conference over the net.
So far it works good but i had to put it lower on my desk it seems that the glare from my bald head was causing the picture to be to bright. http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/smile.gif

[Harrie]

OHMIGOD!! ROTF! Quite an imagination there, Bill, sorry to inform you but I ain't got nothing that needs to be made invisible! Love that "stuff" - technical stuff, that is! Glad you didn't post all that though, I've already "comfoozed" the *h _ _ _* out of myself on it and I'm the one asking the questions!

Hey Bill, let's get real here, is there really any chance in this world that W4cheeeee would walk the straight line? I ain't watching out over him, I guarantee he'll stay well out of bounds! Whoops, don't come get me W4 - I couldn't resist it!

Later! http://smilecwm.tripod.com/fk/hearts.gif

Hi
lafave I have a logitech quickcam express and I like it a lot. It is about 40.00 dollars at best buy. What I like about it is that it send its own viewer when you send a video to someone so they don't need another viewer to see it on their PC. Ironside if you can give me detail maybe we can try the video thing sometime. Just let me know.

If a man speaks and no woman is around to hear him.....is he still wrong?

[lafave]

ironside, frosty...thanks for the info. those both sound good then. there are so many different ones! i need one like the quickcam then to send to a pc w/out a camera? becuase i want to be able to use it to communicate w/ my kids..$40.00? good price. I need to get up to best buy then!! http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/smile.gif
