[olug] Cheap Skype Webcam

[Jon Larsen]

Check out http://www.quickcamteam.net.  You'll want to look at the 
Devices list, specifically this link:
http://www.quickcamteam.net/devices/logitech_uvc_device_list.pdf

Target has the Quickcam 3560 (same as the 3500) for $30.

I have the 5500 for $50 and it works great.
