Faffocue is the successor to NaffoCue. Naffocue was old, heavy and ran on (ok, walked) old hardware, in glorious black and white.

Written by Simon Harris, Faffocue now runs on conventional windows based PC's, in colour. Complete with a snazzy colour changing splash screen.

In academic year 2009/2010, Mike Chislett's hate for the old cub coltron monitors grew, so he began creating Faffocue heads. These consist of a rather bodged mdf & steel construction to hold a camera, 17" LCD screen and two way mirror all on one tripod head, allowing the system to finally move with the presenter and escape some of the clunkyness associated with the earlier Naffocue system. Faffocue heads are still incredibly heavy.
