Meh, my laptop can run the software just fine. I have a firewire webcam coming in. But yeah, we can try the security cameras as well if Ryan or someone can find a capture card.

Someone with a voltmeter and basic electronic knowledge can probably figure it out. The Dec box was powerful in it's day, but my notebook may be faster now. -Daniel On Apr 5, 4:19 pm, Phil Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm seeing a 65bit dec alpha box going by on freecycle: "Working, > loaded with 64-Bit Windows NT(!).
