Yikes-a-Mongo!

My laptop came with XP Pro installed and the disk for W-7 Pro, which I installed straight away. One of the things that didn't work on it was the web cam. Which I didn't think was any great loss.

One of my relatives wants to do video calls, so I tracked down the driver for the web cam and installed it. I turned it on. I saw what I look like, sitting here in a bathrobe with my hair still damp from the shower.

I turned it off. It's going to stay off. Crimus, why would anyone in their right mind ever want to use such a gadget? At least with the telephone, nobody gives a crap what you're wearing or any of that foolishness.

We used it for a while with Skype, as new grandparents we'd do ANYTHING to see the GrandSon!

Do you remember the Jetsons' cartoon? Whenever Jane got a call and she wasn't prepared, she had a facemask on a stick that she held up in front of the videophone.

Yesterday's fiction, today's reality.

Maybe someone should develop realtime streaming Photoshop so we can always look our best.

I suggest some black tape like the school
kids did.

You may never know if it was turned on from the other end.

Ulp!
