Linux also supports my (borrowed) digital camera, an ePhoto307, using the PhotoPC program (and I'm writing a little TCL/Tk frontend for it) but unfortunately the camera sucks. I only get non-blurry JPEGs out of it on every second Thursday, if I hold my tongue the right way. -- "At Fluke we spend about five times as much per Microsoft seat as for Unix seat in support costs. ... While I don't ever use NT, I see notices at least once a week warning of system down time.
