So if it was your company trying to sell Webcams and your company paying for drivers development where would YOU spend the money? On ONE person who bought ONE Webcam, okay say one hundred people or one thousand people?, or on the rest of the world that might buy your Webcam. Not really much of a decision to make here. Is it? I'm sorry that you are so upset about this. I think I would have spent more time looking before I bought and then either accepted the results or tried to fix the problem. Bitching (sorry folks) don't fix nothin'. - -- David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) iD8DBQFFy++OAO0wNI1X4QERAjmtAKDuvW1gW0ih9PHZpMMPm/Yiggf8FQCgtJuo +2r8JiApcSVIhk2iOeZy3hc= =IWU3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
