You could get the Dell Mini 9 with the webcam built in. :) http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-inspiron-9?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DellMini9 http://www.dell.com/ I have one of those Phillips webcams too. It is the Logitech 4000, but it is a Phillips underneath and uses the same driver. It doesn't quite have a mount for the laptop though. brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/ _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
