Raise your hand if you had a parallel Connectix QuickCam.
*raises hand*
Raise your hand if you occasionally brought out your 486 laptop even after you stopped using it for BBSing in order to use it plus the QuickCam like a portable digital camera.

Raise your ha... okay, enough. There is a point to this other than nerdy bantering. In sorting out backups and defining network storage areas, I came across some photos I took of where I lived in my pre/early teens :)
QuickCam
I had the very first Mac-only QuickCam... actually a few of them, the first a freebie because I'd beta-tested so much of Connectix's software. I used it to play a lot with the CU-SeeMe video chat software, some of which was written right upstairs from where I'm sitting right now! (Though I didn't work here then.)
Apple's iSight is an amazing personal video camera, but I still remember the old QuickCam days fondly. :-)
