Why is this?
Surely those who want to stare into other peoples faces can make a positive decision to buy the extra hardware?
Since I'm expecting it to be loaded down with Windows 7, is it possible to put the damn thing beyond use?

Quote from: shutter You could try putting a dab of very dark coloured nail varnish on the hole/lens !
Great idea - I'm going to seriously consider doing that - although it could be defeated by a bottle of acetone.
Alternatively, I could try the device manager thing first.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Partly because I can't be bothered, but mainly because seeing my own image on a PC doesn't really appeal
The nail varnish thing doesn't sound like a bad idea. Trouble is, you'd have to pretend not to have done anything with the laptop should it go wrong.

I thought that I would never use it but the new Sony had Skype on preloaded so jmdlp got me started with it and now we have a chat with Holly making a right racket in the background as she wants to know what is going on.
Just last week my friend visited her friend who lives in Spain and they got their lappy connected so we had a nice chat and I was shown all around their home and the view out the window.
It was about 6 p.m. here, dark, cold and pouring down with rain - there it was daylight and they were clad in t-shirts. It made a nice break from the boring telly so now I'm changing my tune somewhat.
Said friend is now home and has bought a webcam for her lappy so that she can connect with her friend in Spain. All good fun and nice to keep in touch.
Axis will have to apply nail polish, disable the thing or be brave and have a go!
