I installed yet another web cam on my laptop. Sure is fast to run the hi-res web server off the laptop and have in-home surveilance wherever you put the laptop. I thought my wife would be thrilled - she always wanted to know who was at the front door, or what the little kids were up to outside in the summer, I had my finger on the "slect Enter to complete your transaction" button with the D-Link Wireless camera, but hesitated. I've got all these old computers that I could sell on ebay for $250, or, use them as servers for these camers (those with win98 anyway). I'm going to try that route first. Webcams are cheap.

Here's a good primer on basics of using PocketPC from those wizards at O'Reilly . Pretty interesting reading if you have not done it elsewhere already.
