[G4] Upgrade to USB 2.0

[Pat Smith]

Thanks for your reply, John.  You're right, it's too late.  I bought  
the camera because my son and his wife have Skype, live quite a way  
from us, and they are expecting our first grand child.   I'm not very  
tech savvy and he's a pc guy, so I got what I thought would be  
compatible.  I dumbly didn't think to check the USB requirements of  
the camera before I bought it.  The info I've gotten so far makes me  
wary of PCI cards that upgrade USB to 2.0, because of bugs that seem  
to come with them.  Thanks again.
