I cant seem to find a webcam for the MAC, except for the ISIGHT, but that is way too expensive.

I found this one:

But im not sure if it will work.. Ne of you have experience with webcams and Macs.. even if the webcam specifies for windows?

The cam may work, but I don't think the software will support it.

well macs are just more hardware and software friendly than PCs. so my guess is that it would work. I really dont know much about macs but I thought I would give my $.10

but your problem is a software driver.

hardware might be recognized. but unless you find a generic s/w, what's it good for?

yea.. i was thinking that the mac would detect it and may possibly work.. but then the CD support would be useless.
