Which Webcam?

Pop a tiny £40 video camera on top of your monitor, and you'll be surprised how much fun you can have. You can make videophone calls to friends and family all over the world. Or, if they don't have a webcam themselves, you could make a video message instead, and e-mail it to them. And if that's not enough, why not get the plasticine out and create a stop-frame animation? You can even play virtual reality games, using the camera to detect your movements. And when it's time to pack up, simply leave your PC on, and the webcam can monitor your computer room for any intruders!
