Hi all
Colum is spot on with this. I believe the reason it "never
seemed to work", is because it had its roots in the early days of
computers when we had to employ small children to carve what we
wanted on the malleable clay that was the screen. Actually, that's
where the name "screen" comes from, as we had to put a layer of
netting across the front to keep the crumbles from falling into the
keyboard.
All joking aside, (in case you read that and are scratching
your head, it's my feeble attempt at geek humor) the Software Video
Camera was neat in its day. But if I'm remembering correctly, it
required the color depth to be set to 256 colors and it gagged or
refused to run on many of the "millions of colors" setups that are
commonplace in today's world.
Happy Friday the 13th all!
