Advantages of the webcam:
It is a 25 year old webcam designed for windows 2000 and it still works on Linux. It has a dial to adjust the focus
Disadvantages of the webcam:
incredibly low quality, image is upside down, the mechanism for clipping the webcam to the screen is poorly designed
Author’s comment:
I found this webcam in a box, unopened and unused, but it is over 25 years old. Very surprised that it worked
