Did you mean 'can I'
Mr D?
If so, I'd be interested in that as well. While looking at the devastation of the tax office in Austin, I wanted to see the building as it used to be. The little rows of cameras just seemed to disappear into the ground...which didn't matter, cos they didn't work anyway.
Having said all this, pals on 3 corners of the world, all looking into the front drives of their current homes while chatting on Skype, just can't be bad. Wish I could go back in time and show my old electronics lecturer some of these things.
