But, I had totally forgotten about that, and it will probably suffice for my initial needs. Thanks. BTW, it's the Freerunner.

I might be convinced into getting a GPS module for my robot.

If you're walking around with it all the time, then you might have a problem (can you turn off the cell phone part to save power?) Here's a link about using GPS on the FreeRunner: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_GPS -Mark C. ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 18:50:44 -0700 From: Jesse Kline <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [clug-talk] easy peasy skype problem on eeepc 701 To: CLUG General <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" There is an option for turning the camera on in the BIOS if the OS doesn't do it automatically.
