Hi Bill-
Hmmm...interesting in that I need to test XP on both desktop and laptops for
work. Two birds with one stone as it were. Let me know if you're
interested...I could bang on it for you in a week or so.

I had a bunch of binocular optics dropped off on my desk while I was at
lunch today. Time to get busy on the webcam nee DSC stuff I fear. I'll let
you know how it comes along but it probably won't happen until after the
Leonids at the soonest.
