Hello everyone. I know we are sharing technology information here so I thought I would add something I found out yesterday during a "routine service call".
 * MOTIC MICROSCOPE CAMERAS**

We have "Motic" microscope cameras that allow images to be projected and or recorded through a computer. These cameras are $400 and we have had a lot of problems getting them to work. When plugged into the desktop computers the operating system will see them as a USB device but the Motic software will tell you that "no camera is found".

I am attaching a link to a service bulletin from National Optical stating that specifically DELL desktop computer USB ports don't have enough power to run the camera. These cameras don't work at all on any of our DELL desktops but they will run with no issues on our HP's or some of our older COMPAQ's. In order to use these cameras on the DELL's we had to install a USB expander PCI board to get enough power to operate the camera.

EMAIL for iPads Was just told by an elementary school that if you use a generic email account from hotmail, that this works on the ipads. The only problem is that you may get some inappropriate mail. Will be trying it this week.[|f]
