Eric,

Your statement is irreverent as the "Photo Chip" and camera does not need
an external computer. WinCE is running in the camera. If you wish to use an
external computer, it could be a PC, SUN, MAC, whatever... doesn't matter.
Everything is supported automatically. A Photo Chip based camera is
Internet/network ready itself.
