Title: web cam workshop idea
Post by: harris on January 28, 2007, 12:37 PM

soon i was thinking of doing a web cam workshop for helping people who are having any problems
this could be from bearing fitting, headset problems ,removing decals .anything i can help with.
if i do this you would have to be on a good level as i share my msn with my daughter so best behaviour.  :)
