Craig,
    Its called "Smart Webcam" and cost $4 at Menards (I did say it was a 
cheepie).  It has a nice big clip to clip it to the top of your laptop 
or set it on the table but that requires turning it over.  It connects 
via USB.  Here are some other particulars from the package: Video 
800x600 pixels up to 15 frame/sec(VGA); Frame Rate: 320x240 up to 30 
frame/sec(CIF).
Oh! I am using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
The
Jim
