[Hidden-tech] webcam, mac, pc

[Michael Eger]

Julie,

Are you saying the web cam doesn't work on the imac? If that is the
case there is a project on sourceforge that has you covered, check
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/


As for a system that works well in the the mac/windows/Linux
environments try the http://www.gizmoproject.com/ this is an open
source alternative to Sykpe. While I personally have not use it much,
Brian Johnson a fellow hiddentecher and mac/Linux head, recommends it.
