I want to send my cousin in Italy a web-cam so she can talk to my mom on skype. She is a student so she can't really buy one on her own right now. Does anyone know if an American web cam will work on an Italian computer? Of course, I know that all our computer are really Japenese and not American or Italian. LOL.

Where do you find a Japanese computer these days? I thought that they all come from China... I am not a computer expert, but if the web cam is powered by the computer it should work. If you have to plug it in make sure it will run on 240volts.

I'll ask Simy since she's here to plug my web cam into her laptop and we'll see if that works (which I think it should) and will let you know. I do know though that you need to get a web cam compatible with her operating system (ie: Windows XP, Vista, etc) or the cam might fail.

Thanks, Nuccia. That is the perfect solution to ask Simy. This question made me sad ebcause of course Carole would have known the answer
