I am so excited! I got a webcam!

I wish I had one sometimes. But I don't have one. Do I guess I don't know what I'm missing.

I have a webcam, we use it to take pics of the kids and send them to the grandparents. Grandma and Papa don't have one, we've talked about getting one but we see them at least once a year, but if we travel outside of the country we'll get them one too. I have friends who are missionaries, they were overseas when their grandchild was born but they communicated to the baby through the webcam. When they came to the states they got to see their grandchild and she kept touching their faces and making them turn their heads from side to side, she had seen them in one dimention only for so long she wanted to make sure it was them, it was cute. Good luck with your webcam, glad you have a media connection.

Oh wow! Please let us know if it works well. I do not have a webcam for this computer unless the one I have, and never installed, will fit into the back of this computer which was for the previous computer. Don't know anything much about webcams. Our youngest daughter and her two kids aren't home much. She works full time and takes them with her so the only time we could do this is in the evening. Weekends she's gone alot with the kids and her husband also.

I am so happy that you got one! I have one, but I hardly ever used it. As a matter of fact I don't know where mine is right now. It is an older model and probably not compatible with my new computer. Well, I hope you have lots of fun using it and seeing your kids and grandkids! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

awesome!! i have a camcorder that does a webcam and i love it.. i talk to my old friends on it.. it doesnt have sound but still cool to see each other since we may never actually see each other again with the way life is.. im hoping to get a total webcam to clip onto my laptop since my camcorder doesnt and i have to prop it up so its all ghetto lol

Webcams are great. It tells much beyond your usual typing skills. You should enjoy it. I use it with Yahoo Messenger.

I had a webcam one time and I never used it. I ended up selling it on ebay. I don't know anyone with a webcam so it wouldn't really do me any good to have one. I talked to my grandmother yesterday and she said she was thinking about getting one for her and my grandfather. My grandfather is a veteran and he lives at the VA (my grandmother can't take care of him by herself) and my grandmother lives at home and she wants something that they can see and talk to each other on the computer with. So she said she was really thinking about getting one. That way if she can't go up to the VA for a few days they can still talk and see each other on the webcam.

hi there...so nice to hear that... yes, i have video calls from time to time with my friends and relatives abroad. my laptop has a built in webcam and wireless mic. i also use yahoo messenger to call my friends... hehehe... these are great technology inventions and i am so happy to have them... long distance call was so expensive before and sending snail mail too..and very very paisntakingly slow. happy mylotting!!! ~ shiloh

No I don't have a webcam, no use for it really. It would be cool to have one but I wouldn't ever really use it. I have a digital camera though, I have fun with that...it's more fun to take pictures on it than I thought. Plus I can send pictures to friends through the computer on it. I do have a small video camera that can be hooked up to the computer to send videos, we got it from Verizon after switching to them. It's nice but I have been barely using it. Congratulations, hope you enjoy having a webcam!

Congratulations, My grandkids live pretty close (thank goodness) but my boys would never get off of the computer if we had one.

i'm so glad u got one. i have one it's over here in the drawer don't even have it hoked up. wouldn't want people to see me the way i look most of the time.lol my children & grandchilden live close. if they were far away i'm sure i would have it hooked uo. hope u enjoy yours. greetings from tennessee.

well and good wishes for that and try to use it and othere technologies. I am also fond of webcam but i still didn't get it . one day I will achieve it.

Hi Jill, Next thing you know, we won't see you anymore cause you'll be too busy with kids and grandkids!! How exciting for you. I have a web cam but not hooked up. I think my hubby is using it on his laptop now that I think of it. Well you enjoy those kids and we'll see you when you're not too busy. leenie

Oh cool i would love one of those are they expensive? because im thinking about getting one.

I have a Cam but i don't use it often, but i'm happy for ya. It sucks when you live far away from the people you love, But thank the heavens for technology cause now you can live far away and still see the people you love. Sure you can't physically interact with them, but hey atleast you can see them and they can see you.

Hi jillhill, even i want to buy one, but i dont have any reason to buy, my relative are here in the same country. they are away but they dont have a computer so i didnt buy it.. thanks and enjoy :)

Good day... One of the greatest achievement of today's technology is webcam. It really bridge people through out the globe. Imagine seeing your friend/family live in your computer miles away and best of all it is quite cheap. One of the highlights of my days before going abroad is seeing my fiancee over the internet with a webcam.

I have been thinking about this but am so comfortable sitting around as a slob clothed or unclothed and I don't know if I want to give up that freedom. I know you can turn them off but what if I forget, I do things like that.

I have a web cam too but I don't use it I did when I first got it I was so excited. I have been thru 4 computers and I just never did install it on this one. I still have it in case I need it again. Have a great time with yours and enjoy your family. I know you were thrilled to see grand baby.

I am not having a web cam. Please suggest cheap and good one to me
