	Had a similar experience.  Our second daughter bought a cheap digital
camera from the Aldi supermarket chain and I had doubts as to whether it
would be recognized.  Plugged the Traveler DC5900 into F8 laptop and
gthumb found it straight away.  Could use the Windoze driver CD to scare
birds from the almond tree...
