Re: Mac Mod? Connectix?

[Mark Walsh <mtwalsh@grin.net>]

If by CU-SeeMe cam you mean a Connectix quickcam, it is connected to the

mac by serial cable through the modem or printer port.  I used to drive

around San Francisco with one mounted on my motorcycle helmet after I

almost killed myself over by Ocean Beach trying to do the same with my

pixelvision camera.  They are handy cameras but have trouble with bright

sunlight.  I broke up some old sunglasses and duct taped the lens over

the connectix lens.  Used the videos for my senior project at state. 

They also have software that does time lapse.  Looks similar to pixel,

but different.
