I'd get an iSight.. just because they work well.

They are quality, but they do cost a bit.. £99 isn't it?

Well.. I reckon it'd be worth £99. Two tanks of petrol.. just walk for a couple of weeks.

£99 naaaa im not paying that.
I cant walk to work as its a 50 mile round trip :-(

whats the point in a webcam except letting someone watch you doing rather sick things to your self lol

If you have a PPC iMac then this will be what you require, you can pick a suitable camera from the list then.

Be aware that neither adium or the microsoft msn client support webcam, you'll need to use aMsn or mercury messenger to get that working.

In PowerPC Tiger, you can purchase iChatUSBCam to drive some third party webcam work well on OSX.
Check the support list here -> http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html

But I'd like to recommend the iSight.

See, it starts getting messy.

The whole point of a Mac it just "works" - plug in, done.. IMO.

and also you can't angle the built in ones right otherwise you can't see the screen too :dapprove:

Luckily the laptop one can be angled with the screen, but still no use with no software being able to use it lol
