Mostly windows, afair, which I have to use it on occasionally. I bought |
| 14 |
an E5500 for my mum and it took a few months to get it going (admittedly |
| 15 |
she is interstate, so I only had a few hours a month to try!) The |
| 16 |
solution was weird, and some "new" windows version of skype seemed to be |
| 17 |
immune, but I was already burned! |

The same quickcam on my gentoo box didn't have any problems. Apparently |
| 20 |
it was specific to certain quickcams, but this was a while ago, so |
| 21 |
details in my brain are sketchy! |

Can you get 720p on linux with the C600? |

I love dogs, but I hate Chihuahuas. A Chihuahua isn't a dog. It's a rat |

with a thyroid problem. |
