The webcam puts the picture in a directory accesible by Apache.
One uses javascript in an html page to dynamically update a webcam webpage.

The webcam overwrites the previous picture taken.

After a while, one collects hundreds of images 'webcam.jpg' in the Recycle Bin...

Windows doesn't provide you with an option to restore these files - without one overwriting the other (remember, they have the same name (and came from the same source location/directory).

fd copyFileNamed: fde name toFileNamed: ('c:\webcam\webcam_', ((DateAndTime fromSeconds: fde modificationTime) asSortableString), '.jpg') ] ]
