Hello fellow Mac users, I converted a few years ago by purchasing the last of the line of Titanium Powerbooks - 1gHz DVI model and have been very happy that I did. My two sisters have been using Macs for years before that, but I was reluctant to spend the high dollars before, but now realize that quality products and OS are worth the price of admission. As you might guess from my user name, I am a long time Amiga owner and user. In fact I still use my collection of antiques almost daily and add to the collection almost monthly and sometimes weekly. Old habits die hard and for those of you that have never seen or experienced an Amiga, it was truly ahead of its time and a wonderful platform to learn about computers on in the mid to late 80's.
My Powerbook is currently down for repairs (display inverter board should be on its way to me in the next few days, first replacement only lasted a week before going bad again).
I talked my brothers and sisters into buying my 78 year old Mom an iBook for Christmas and the older sister is trying to get all of us to buy webcams so we can virtually visit each other "Online". This leads me to a question. I have an old Intel CS330 Create and Share PC USB 2.0 camera that I am wondering if I can somehow set up for my Mom to use with her iBook. Intel no longer supplies any support for such an old product and there are no Mac drivers for this webcam. Do any of you think it would harm the camera or the iBook to try it and see if the Tiger OS can recognise and use it?
Being a relative newcomer to the world of Macs, I am sure I will have many other questions in the future. Thanks in advance for any advice or answers.
