I love it.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.... Chocolate....
Gggahghghhghghhghhhhhhh...

So I'm thinking I'd like to free up 16 square feet of real estate in my house by
taking the robocam down. However, I don't have an idea for a replacement.
I was thinking about some sort of CAD setup, so people could draw on paper, much
like that remote artist paint thing I saw years ago.
The only issue is that I'm competent enuf to set up buttons for movement--press
button 'x' and pen moves in 'x' direction for a set amount of time...
However, I'd like to set up a java applet or something that would give the user
a way to use the movement of the mouse cursor to move the pen--that way it'd be
more fluid...
But that's beyond me at this time.
