webcam setback

The hardware is all set to go. I can even control the iBook in the closet
on the second floor from my G5 in the basement. However, the webcam
software I bought to run the thing doesn't work properly in Mac OS 10.3
(Panther). The video image freezes after the first couple of frames, then
it continues to upload the same image repeatedly while still updating the
super-imposed clock. Stupid stuff.

Anyway, I'm testing out a new webcam application that will hopefully work
properly. If not, I'm out another 20 bucks and I'm stuck waiting for a fix
on one or the other...

Maybe this is why those people in the house on the left always look out
their curtains?

Why? To see if the webcam is working?

Maybe they're wondering about surveillance cameras directed toward them?
