Me too. Anyone having broken ones collecting dust in the attic, please

let me know.

They have, sort-off. Last time I went to Fry's there were a dozen 

different low-res color cams for computer applications with miniature bodies,

some with audio and NTSC video output (they require a video sampling card)

some with parallel port interfaces (useless for anything else) and some

with video conferencing software in the package.

Prices from $120. The one I like best was the "goose-neck" Sony but

it was also the most expensive.
