Wow! For $11 total, (after a $15 rebate, available on purchases through 8/31), Amazon will deliver a Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 (their basic PC webcam) right to your door. (That’s based on the pre-rebate price, which is $26 as I write this (sometimes these things change rapidly); and the purchase qualifies for free shipping.) If you wanted an excuse to get a webcam, this is it.
It always catches my eye when hi-tech gadgets somehow become essentially free. I don’t know how these things come about, but I appreciate them.
The slightly-more-upscale LifeCam VX-6000 will set you back $43. But I think the $11 camera is fine.
