Found this cute little cilliate this morning

This darling little guy was in the pond water I sampled the other day. I've tried to identify it on Josh's page, but can't quite match it up with anything there. Then I tried Google images, and there was one matching there, but not identified. Meh... Oh, and I got ToupLite to stop locking up on me! Yaaaaayyy! I took the camera off that 13 port USB hub and plugged into a port on the Mac, no more problems with locking up, but the video still sucks.

Thanks again Francisco!

I'm going to look it up and learn about it....

That seems logical:
(a) General wisdom is that cameras perform better when connected direct
(b) You have already informed me that the ports on your Mac Mini are USB_2

The camera's potential will therefore be throttled to USB_2 speed.
