Usually you can set the camera to have a "fixed" quality on the video so frames per second will lower when not enough bandwidth is available.

You can do almost anything with a notebook without CD. You just need a Pendrive, external HDD or SD card. If installing software or installing a new Operating System wth theese seems imposible for you (dude, you've got a lot of how to on the internet...) you can still buy an external CD-ROM reader for as less as 20$ through ebay (rw or DVD rw a little more expensive). If you think that your m200 is useless you have got a serious problem...I think that maybe it's an user problem. Come on!!! You can do almost anything with a notebook without CD.

]]> Comment on Logitech G5 Laser Optical Mouse by ron http://www.lockergnome.com/hardware/2005/10/21/logitech-g5-laser-optical-mouse-2/#comment-54765 ron Sun, 24 Aug 2008 08:37:17 +0000 http://www.lockergnome.com/hardware/2005/10/21/logitech-g5-laser-optical-mouse-2/#comment-54765 Pros: Laser precision; excellent grip; tilt wheel; weight tuning; on-the-fly sensitivity switching up to 2000DPI; DPI indicator; slick pads; application profiling. Cons: Only one thumb button; hard to middle click; right-handed only. Verdict: All things said and done, Logitech's G5 is an instrument of victory. Between the slick pads, laser precision, excellent grip, tilt wheel, profile switching, and DPI indicator, there is no doubt in my mind that the G5 will deliver performance to those who need it. The paint job of the Logitech G5 is reminiscent of the rusted look of the Half-Life universe. Tarnished shades of red and black engulf a silver base coat to give a worn, battle-hardened look. While the color scheme will most likely not match anything on your desk, case modders will be sure to appreciate it's unique looks. While the G5 uses the same uber-comfortable right handed bean shape as its predecessors, the grip is no longer made of the smooth rubber material . Instead it uses a more earthly material that has a fine texture that feels remarkably similar to the soles of a new pair of Wolverine boots, or the rough side of a fUnc mouse pad.
