It could be done, the lease expensive way would be to use a Sony Digital
MavicaŽ cameras, the MVC-FD5 ($490) and the MVC-FD7 ($690). It stores images
on a standard 3.5" floppy disk, in JPEG format. No wires, cables or drivers.
Up to 40 images per floppy. 

The camera could be at one of B&B's (Elmer's or Duckett House) or in one of
the Restaurant's.

The disk when full can than, be sent to Windfoot. That is if he would to do
something like this.
