Hi all, After a number of years just lying in desk drawer my old Logitech spherical webcam died. So, I'm looking for a new one. It's not that I use it a lot. My wife will be heading out of province to our son's place next month to be there for the birth of our first grandson. The plan was to use a webcam to send back pictures later (not on the day of, of course but a week later). Anyhow I need to replace the old with a new webcam. The last time I used the old webcam it was hooked up to a Windows XP system. I've since retired that machine, along with the retirement of three FreeBSD machines, leaving me with a few servers and my FreeBSD laptop. I'm hoping to use the webcam with Pidgin with MSN. Can anyone suggest a brand and model? It needs to have good image quality and needs to work with FreeBSD 9.0. Any suggestions? -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
