The Intel MacBook, MacBook Pro and iMac use an internal USB2 iSight, which
uses the UVC USB driver instead of the firewire one, but works fine with
vic.

If users are migrating from PPC make sure they don't have the PPC vic in
their home directory, i.e.:
  rm -rf ~/.AccessGrid3/local_services/
the PPC vic has Quicktime driver issues using the Rosetta PPC emulator.
Removing the above directory will install fresh copies of the Intel vic and
rat.


Cheers,
Doug
