Don't miss out on this great offer. The IBM PC camera supports a 640x480 resolution in TRUE COLOR. That's got certain people with computer labs in their basements drooling already.

Did I mention it matches your beige computer setups? That's right! All this for how much... a hundred dollars, five hundred, ONE THOUSAND?!?? NO!!! Just for $20!!

Do you have to pay a usage bill for every minute of video it records?

I actually had one of those things. I picked it up for a few bucks at a closeout sale. It was absolutely horrible. The frame rate was virtually non-existent, and the picture quality was bottom tier on a good day.

With the box, it might make for a good doorstop.

I'll bet you're just trying to sandbag the auction so you can win it without the bid going up any more. ;)

The camera SGI made for the Indy is pretty nice, too bad it only connects to the Indy...

If it's USB, it can't be vintage. Make fun of the buyer as much as you like.

How good is it at low-light senstivity?  For what I do, if it(or the the later-on O2cam) can do low-light pictures well out of the box, I've got no problem with it.

I might buy one or get one free some time just to try it out in windows 98.
