There was that school district in PA that had software installed in the school issued laptops that allowed school officials to turn on the web cam remotely - http://content.usatoday.com/communit...-on-students/1

Those were Apple Mac products which are notorious for hiding control features from the end user.

That, and when they work things work... but when they DON'T there is very little recourse to get under the hood.

I was told to stop talking about Macs.

I have a white Mac book (and a Toshiba laptop AND a couple of Gateway desktops....) and have even been learning how to set up a Mac server the past few weeks.

I will take a Windows 7 machine ANY day.

Don't know anything about a Toshiba, Gateway nor a Windows 7, but I sure do like this 17" MacBook Pro. I better get off this subject...someone will accuse me of hijacking the thread. Sure don't want to be accused of that.

Mr Ed Anglin, don't know you, but it's good to see you back on AFF. And by the way my Mac does have the secret camera on it. I don't know for sure who is looking at me right now so I better get off here.

"BeenThinkin, the web cam is a dangerous thing. They are not all accounted for. We do not know who is watching!"

RandyWayne... How do you post a picture like that on AFF. Of course, my luck, you'll probably say a Mac won't do it. lol If it's simple post me a few instructions on how it's done.
