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

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.
