Excellent tip.  I have usb port on my computer, but my daughter's 
computer is older, and doesn't.  Her family is about to shop for a 
laptop, so I'll make sure she considers making sure she can hook up a 
usb webcam to it.  I guess it looks like I'd better plan on spending 
upwards of $30 for a linux compatible webcam.
Thanks, again
Tom
