    Hey everybody...

    I need some suggestions for a webcam that I can use with my Dell Laptop (Inspiron 9300). Last night, I was using AIM to chat with my brother, who just got a new Apple Powerbook/ibook with the Intel chips and a built in webcam on the monitor. I want to purchase a webcam that is relatively cheap (maybe $40 at the most) and rather portable. Granted, it doesn't have to be portable, but I think something that could clip on to the top of my "screen" would be nice. Also, a pretty good "refresh rate" (or whatever terminology is used) would be nice, as I don't want it to be super choppy.
    Any suggestions from you all would be extremely appreciated! I've asked for help before here (when I was trying to figure out which laptop to buy) and you all were EXTREMELY helpful, and I really appreciate it. I ask for you advice again....
    Thanks in advance!

    haha! Cookie for you my friend!

    I've heard the same about Logitech... I plan on getting that brand; any specific models I should be aware of though?
