Hi all,
Firstly I aplogize if this has been covered ad infinitum and if this is basic to the board...
I am looking at options to get my mother onto the internet and knowing her uses will be minimal and that she only needs a small communication device I am thinking a hacked webplayer would be ideal.. There are some cheapies on Ebay and I have innards and guts of Laptops / Stylistics / Pc's all over so the hacking should be fun too...
I am looking for any webpages dealing for basic hacking FAQ and pitfalls and also want to know if these 2 priority items can concievably be built in...
She will be on dialup now but get ADSL soon... Can the Webplayer handle a NIC ?? I have a USB NIC and a USB data transfer cable (not truly a nic I think just drivers to bridge connect) so I am thinking that a USB NIC should do it ??
Does it have enough power to run a webcam (over USB again ??) and the associated image capture and display ??
If i can achieve these I am pretty confident that the machine would suffice as it is mostly a communication need now that I have moved to Asia...
Thanks in advance
