Any recommendations for a good webcam?? I don't want to pay more than $100 if possible.

Shop around at Comp USA, down the road right past the [128/3A] split, to get an idea of what is out there George. Go there and get one of the salesman busy with all the questions you can create from reading the back of the box you ask him to show you. Worth the trip if you are exploring.

Sensi Mattson,
Depends on what you are looking for.
Color w/sound Color w/o sound B/W?
I like Logitech, no real reason other then it doesn't say Intel on it.
Tonys' class is broadcast with an Intel camera looks great! I think it was $129.
The are all pretty much the same nowadays.
USB, color with auto iris and some type of privacy cover for the lens. Sound is done via you own mic. I think they run $80-$120 depending on the sofware package/bells whistles.
Cheers,
Chuck

why do I get the feeling that video-conferencing is around the corner?

Allen,
Did that a couple years ago.
Netmeeting and 28K <->56k modems looked great and was able to use the whiteboard and everything with out over loading the connection. Watched a Disney movie stream over that way not the greatest but it was nice.
can't afford to keep up with the joneses anymore :|
