The sad part of all this is the history. QuickCams were once made by Connectix, who made their mark for years by making great Mac products. When they decided to focus only on software they sold their line to Logitech, who slowly migrated the QuickCams to the more profitable Windows base of users. Finding an affordable USB web cam with sound that will run under OS X is impossible. One hopes that Apple's strategy of filling market gaps (by creating things like the iPod) will extend to include the iCam (?) - a better designed, faster operating camera with superb, easy to use software. And Logitech, for their part, should have a nice, clear disclaimer on their homepage explaining exactly why they could care less about Mac users instead of having spurious menu links for Macintosh support that doesn't exist (or at least hasn't in the last three or four years).
