Kinda OT - Building on Allyn's webcam idea

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

This is getting out of hand. I thought reality TV on Fox was bad enough!

Please don't tell me a camera in the bed room is next. Your ISP will not 
allow that!
(though if you split the profits with them ...  :)

(nice code by the way)
