Something New

I'm a fraction late - it is really the 4th here...nearly didn't participate then I
remembered this webcam I bought last Monday. Its mainly for Skype. We have a niece
& nephew in England and a son in San Francisco who may like to see us when we chat.

We use Skype and find it is useful. In our experience it is best to display the image at less than full-screen size for optimal sharpness.

Let me know how it goes. I have not tried it yet.

I've had one for a couple years now. Haven't used it too much lately
but it sure comes in handy when I talk to a good friend in Japan and
get to visit with his family.

yep, the future is here!

I haven't bought one yet....that would mean I'd have to clean and wear clothes! LOL! Just kidding!
