I'm pretty clueless. Webcams??
Now look. I've ordered a scanner. I'm hoping it will arrive today. But I've no idea how to use it.
I might ask you technologically sophisticated people for help. Ok?

Angel,
I dont have a webcam ...... but in January this year I was in the chatroom and was told by a few people that they could see me through the thingie on the screen that looks like a camera ................ I logged off in a rush !!
I then spent 20 minutes sticking bits of paper to the screen so that no-one could see me.
I logged back into the chatroom and was laughed at by everyone !!!
It still brings a smile to my face.
How daft am I ?????

I once had a conversation with someone about when the UK was buying electricity from the French.
Her - so how do we get this French electricty?
Me - Well, there is a house in Dover and they run this long extension lead to France and plug it in
Her - What about the ships, do they not get caught up in the cable
Me - Noooo they stop the ships - bit like a pedestrian crossing at sea
Her - Wow, thats so clever (thinks a bit)
Her - But you cant have black and white lines painted on the sea
Me - No - they use black and white lights instead
Her - That must cost a fortune in electricity
Me - Thats why we need the electricty from France
Her - are you winding me up?
Me - Nooooo, as if I would do that
Her - They are bloody clever these French people
:doh: :doh:
As if the French could be called clever - whatever next
Webcam????????? Oh this round thing with the flashin ligh....................
No, thats the on/off switch. Im sure theres one here somewhere.
Oh, one of them ones then? Them flashing light, new fangled, thingy majiggys.
What's one of them camera things then?
Lol that reminds me of a story my friend told me about a woman in her office. When they first got a computerised system she was complaining about the mouse and how it was so difficult to use. My friend looked over to see her with her keyboard held up in the air so that she could move the mouse underneath it. She hadn't realised that you could lift the mouse and start again instead of leaving it on the table and continuing the scroll bless her
:giggle:
It can be a bloody nightmare...I needed to buy a new television today, which necessited getting the old sky digi box down out of the loft because apparently the television I've purchased works better with a digital signal. In the process of buying the telly, I've been offered new super duper cables to link all the various pieces of equipment. I've been offered a box of tricks because apparently my electricity is dirty :shock: how the fuck that happened is beyond me, but when mrs davej comes home there are gonna be words. I've had to book a service call with sky to sort out the digi box cos after connecting a mountain of cables, scart leads and other various connectors, none of which seem to be that well designed in terms of fitting in and staying put, or indeed anywhere near long enough, it still isnt working.
Been laughing as I read through these....takes me back to when I used to work on an IT helpdesk. Here's a few we had:
A user complaining her mouse didn't work. When we visited she wasn't there and we tried it out - all seemed ok. She rang again so the next time I went whilst she was there and asked her to show me what was wrong......she put the mouse onto the screen and was trying to use it like a large Etch-a-Sketch bless her.
People with data problems: on more than one occasion when I'd asked them to send me a copy of their floppy disc with the data on, they put it through the photocopier.
Someone getting a connection to the internet for the first time.....he rang up to find out how long it would take to download the internet to his computer.
A work-placement student who got stuck at the first hurdle because of the message on the screen. It told her to "press any key to continue" but she couldn't find a key on the keyboard labelled "any".
When we had the first batch of PCs in that had a CD drive, at least a dozen of them using it as a coffee cup holder.
) so I put my webcam on to show my friend. I left the cam on and carried on chatting, laughing, joking, smoking... all the usual day to day stuff you do whilst sitting at your PC. (no, I wasn't being naughty, I was wearing my new PJs and just having a laugh, no flashing or anything you dirty minded lot!)
oh yes ; everytime my kids bring home some new gadget!
Just remembered another story of someone really not understanding modern technology.
