burgeoning Java Applet skills to to write a little applet to decode
the motion jpeg stream that the webcams spit out. Not exactly
efficient, but at least it works everyplace I tried, even with
Internet Explorer.

For the web page, the default view is still static, with an option
near the top to use the applet version of the page. The nice thing is
that when you leave the page (go someplace else) the data stream
actually stops (cause the applet is stopped).
