This puts me in mind of Wendy Carlos "Switched on Bach", in particular the Brandenburg Concerto #3, but my Google-fu has failed to find a link to it. Never mind, there's always the Tocatta and Fuge in D Minor, though I'm not sure if that's good to help keep away the madness, or in sympathy for those already there. Then of course there's Banjos!. If neither of those help, maybe this will put you in the mood

Dear Communinty
Maybe you have an idea, why Skype does not handle my camera.
Situation
- Laptop: HP Elite Book 8770w
- OS: W10 upgradet from W7 before half a year or more (no major nor minor problems with that)
- W10 On Board Camera App does work.
- Skype is added/enabled in Settings->Privacy
... but when testing the camera in Skype it always shows me a black pictrure.
Do you have any idea where I'm wrong?
Note 1: I don't think it is an 'ugly face detection' by skype, it does also not work in case I put a neutral grey paper in front of the camera 
Note 2: I'm not willing to reinstall skype because I don't remember my skype credentials 
Thanks for hints in advance.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

You could try typing "camera" into the Win10 search; for me, first option is "choose which apps can access your camera" giving application-level access. Secondly if you've accessed the camera via the Camera app, maybe it's not relinquished it properly? Use TaskManager to make sure it's fully closed; if it is and still doesn't work, you could try a reboot I guess...
Is the camera red light coming on when you access it from Skype?
Lastly, do you have other cameras defined on the system? Maybe it's trying t talk to one that doesn't exist. In Skype, go to Settings, then Audio&Video; in my version of Skype there's a dropdown at top-right of the dialog to switch between cameras. That dialog also shows a preview from the cam.
See Webcam doesn't work[^]
Finally, try a USB plug-in webcam if you can get hold of one.
Good luck!

Can you not recover your password using the "Forgot Password" link?
One more thing which I try is the Skype -> Settings -> Audio and Video. In this, see which camera is selected. Or, just select it one more time.

Use a different app to make sure your camera works.

I find these intriguing, but never really heard about this.
I almost NEVER get digital stuff in "alternative" ways because of risks.
Quick Question, can I get them in PDF? Or will I need special readers?
Is this one of those things where I end up with 13 books, and 12 different readers?
Do the load to Kindle?
Thanks in advance...
##### I used DuckDuckGo and Found the answers to be YES
I include this reply for others. Honestly for those prices, and I will gladly pay $5.00 so they are not eaten by fees....
I will try it. It's worth the $5, and I will comment again if my experience is anything but good!

I purchased several of these bundles over the years. All the books on offer are PDF in this bundle. Just out of curiosity once, I purchased a Survivalist/Prepper bundle. Might come in handy these days.

They are all PDF format. Which I prefer less than mobi (Kindle native) but at least you can use the reader you like.
Good luck!
