Hey Mac Geeks :hugegrin: This question is for my mama. She has some kind of mac desktop. Don’t ask me what kind or how old. She’s had it long enough that it doesn’t have a webcam built in. She now has a grandchild who lives in a PC house and she wants a webcam. The iSight is no longer being made because all new macs come with a built-in webcam. The ones on eBay are going for up to $250. But pc webcams can be bought for \<$20.

So my question to you mac fans - what kind of webcam can my mama buy for her mac?

thanks much :hr:
