I think this is going to work!
Chloe, my sweetheart of a cat, knocked our vintage 2002 iSight webcam to the floor as I was using it to videochat with my parents. It's dead. I still have to do a couple of tests, but it doesn't appear on the firewire bus of any of the computers I have checked it on, with differernt cables. Googling for repair options yields only info on the new, monitor-embedded iSights. Aargh.
On the other hand, maybe this is an excuse to shell out for a firewire DV camera.
A few fiddly bits are missing, as this move has taken place in slow motion. I am cleaning up the old database and will port the awol material when I do so.
Viv and I just watched the 1995 Ian McKellen production of Richard III, something I have been wanting to watch since its' US theatrical release, and it really blew me away, even considering occasional deviations of tone in editing or performer's choice. Brain food.
