As part of my summer internship at PV on the Net, I was asked to create this web page on CU-SeeMe.
 

    The CU-SeeMe program is a simple internet connection in which one can talk to and see the other person(s) (using slow-motion video framing). This program is free, and was created so that the standard desktop computer can run it without having to put a giant load of stuff inside. Instead, you can just download the files from the Internet. This alone will allow you to view the others that use a video camera. For an extra $100 you can hook up a simple Black & White video camera that sits on top of your monitor.

    The CU-SeeMe program was created originally for the Macintosh at Cornell University by Tim Dorcey, and was soon written for the PC with Dick Cogger’s help. This technology was soon adopted y White Pines. The CU-SeeMe program hooks up with "reflector" sites. These sites are large "broadcasting" servers that send the information over longer distances. In 1993, New York State Educational Research Network realized this program and started a training department.
