Fair enough - I can't think of anything better to do with a
Jar-Jar minifig either! :-)
Weeellll - you are only *just* marginally, arguably, maybe wrong.
Nobody should assume that they'll get the Lego camera working
under Win95 - the obstacles seem immense. However, *some*
versions...maybe just *one* version of Win98 *did* support
USB - so bye-bye Jar-Jar.
Here's the deal - Win95 OSR2 *only* - that was the very last
version of Win95 before Win98 appeared. To get OSR2 you had
to *buy* a computer with Win95 already installed on it -
unless you were a developer or prepared to pirate it...even
THEN you had to download the drivers from Microsoft directly
because they didn't make it onto the CD-ROM.
Here are the true details:
