Excellent tip. I have usb port on my computer, but my daughter's
computer is older, and doesn't. Her family is about to shop for a
laptop, so I'll make sure she considers making sure she can hook up a
usb webcam to it. I guess it looks like I'd better plan on spending
upwards of $30 for a linux compatible webcam.
Thanks, again
