Yeah, nice little thing it is.

I know you installed XP onto it. Have you installed any drivers at all?

I don't have a webcam.
Well, I do, on my unused laptop, but the drivers cause BSODs when installed, so I don't actually have one.

I have a webcam * name escapes me *. I don't use it that often...

My digital camera is my web cam, dont use it that often though.

When my neice and her children(whom my daughter is very close to) moved to another state, I purchased a webcam. My daughter used it about a week or two then started feeling like she was being watched, so she unplugged it. We moved this last Feb. and it is still in a box somewhere. This is a person that loves IMs, texting, taking pictures of herself and posting them, but she was afraid when she was unaware, someone may see her.

You know, it is ok to have it plugged in when you're using it, and unplugged when you're not. You don't have to hide it.

I have a webcam, but, its external, and a bit old... not the greatest, and a fairly grainy picture.
I don't  use it very often though, there's really no need.

don't have one... but would like to have one...  think I could some good stuffs with it.

But first... I think I should get my own computer first...

Yes, I have one.  The brand is Zonet.  It's a simple, external model.  I don't use it much and don't have much need for it; it's basically a toy to play with sometimes.  I've used it with instant messaging and with Windows NetMeeting a few times. I got it to use with my Win XP desktop. It will not work with my notebook PC with Windows Vista; Zonet has not issued a driver to support Vista.

I'm mostly at work and unable to use a cam there.  I currently don't have a system at home and will be purchasing one soon, so when I do finally get up with the times (haha).... I just might purchase a cam to communicate with friends and relatives who currently have one.
