Re: [K12OSN] Intel qx3 Microscopes

Wow!

We have had one gathering dust for a long time. We tried it and it was 
just ok. I dusted it off and plugged it in to a linux box.

It looks like we may have something useful!!!

James,

You said you take the microscope on field trips with a laptop. What a 
great idea. The kids use it and when they see something interesting, 
they can save to the disk to take back.

Thanks for the software.

Gary

PS. I noticed our 3Com Homeconnect webcam next to the microscope. We 
'lost' use of it when we switched to XP. I plugged it in and
  it works!

Where is that Lego camera (which is also gathering dust :-) )

(off to look under more piles of dust)
