I have not received the newsletter {104} But with your policy of forum post of the newsletter, I may still read it.

My concern is a problem of interface between the forum computer and that of my own. This was in recent past, a very severe and frustrating problem.

Karl

Jim

This is not fair! For to post your handsome face as your avatar means in effect, the lovely ladies are to now ignore us fellows

But, as once I was told, {if you have it,,,then flaunt it!}...

{SSST, that is an excellent photo Jim, keep up the good work..}

Karl

[jimpres]

Karl,

Thank you for the complement, I think the lovely ladies are elsewhere occupied. Unfortunately ; )
I took it with my Macintosh Photobooth. Pretty slick application.
How you been Karl?

I am quite well Jim, thank you for asking Your Macintosh photobooth, now is this a camera attachment with your computer? Or were you to use a separate camera with download to the computer? Or, is this capable of using a click and drag for direct input to another medium such as to the forum? Or still this will require a Internet source for file transfer, then to post on the forum?

I apologize for the many questions Jim, but this is interesting!

Karl

[jimpres]

Karl,

The camera is built into the computer (laptop) the lens is about 3mm square. You open the application Photobooth and adjust the top of the laptop screen to point the camera where you want it and press a icon and it counts down and takes the picture. You can then send it via email, put it in a photo album and you can edit it if you want. Not sure I can drag it into this forum. I just upload it to photobucket and then put that url in my profile to display the picture. So yes requires an internet source. Not sure I can upload directly to the forum.
Question are good not a problem.

Jim
