Hi Jackie - Yes, this does answer my questions. I'm closing in on what I think I want. Perhaps I could send you the spec off-list and you could tell me what you think? Don't worry, I won't blame you if anything goes wrong <smile> - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 3:01 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Laptop spec questions | Hi Andy | | Firstly, mine has a built-in webcam and I never use it with the built-in | microphone that comes with it too, so no you don't have to have both on | together. I use my microphone on Skype without the webcam, and it's ok. | | Secondly, you won't need a Bluetooth dongle. I have sent TALKS updates from | my laptop to my mobile direct, and that's great and quick to do. | | Hope that answers your questions. | | Jackie | | Email: cairnsplace@xxxxxxx | Skype Name: Cairnsplace | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 2:52 PM | Subject: [access-uk] Laptop spec questions | | | > Hi all - | > | > If a laptop comes with integrated webcam that has integrated stereo mic, | > does this mean this mic can be used with the webcam turned off?
