I need to get a laptop with a Firewire then, but I think it'd be good
to see if we can't get an output that goes to USB.  There are plenty
of reasons for this, including the fact that not everyone can afford a
laptop with Firewire.

I suppose it's good to have a test machine that is different than the
development machines though, so that'll be great to have your camera
Paul.  Consider this your reminder :)
