Do web cams have the fine resolution and can they be mounted on a tripod? The tools (e.g. chisels) I'll be using are about 0.75 mm wide. The work field will be about 3 cm square, and I'll want to see it full screen (21" drafting CRT 1600 x 1200). Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
