Hi Andy

Yeah go ahead, that's no problem. I can only speak as I find with the one I'm using. It's certainly got things on it I wouldn't use, but that happens with them all I suppose unless you go down the road of getting one custom-built.

When I discovered it had a webcam, I got my son to make positively sure it wasn't on when I used the built-in microphone or else I'd have been completely mortified by that (smiles).

As for the Bluetooth side of it, I have a switch on the front of my laptop that goes one way to turn Bluetooth and wireless networking off, and the other way to turn them on.

Yes go ahead by all means.

Jackie

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> -

| 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.
