This reminds me. Vid. for labrat should be mandatory and not an option.

I like where this is going.

I'm not much of a chatter, and can't imagine I'd do it if there were web cams either. But don't let that stop you guys.

I'm posting just to point out that woot.com is having a special today on webcams. Two for $18 (shipping included.) If you are not familiar with Woot, they sell one item a day. So tomorrow, these guys won't be for sale any more. You could get the two, keep one, and send one to LabRat.

I have a webcam built into my notebook, but have no idea how to use it. I don't get into chat very often anymore but I like the idea.

Hmmmm. You people who know about these things, is that a decent one? Seems like a good deal, but I've never looked seriously at buying one.

BTW, cool website!! ::sets bookmark::

I don't think there is such a thing as a decent webcam. They all take pretty crappy images/video compared to a real digital camera. The comments at woot say that the microphone for this one is crappy.

For what it's worth, Amazon offers the same webcam for $27 for one. So woot has a good price.

I succumbed and ordered one. It's got better image quality than my old one, it supports USB 2.0, and it has a clamp to fit on top of my laptop. (Hercules Deluxe Optical Glass, $20 + free shipping from Newegg. They're out of stock at the moment though.)
