QuickCam Pro 4000 looks good, but i'm leaning towards *Logitech QuickCam 
Communicate STX.*
It appears to be little more affordable, and carries the same features. 
In particular, I believe both are mountable on a laptop. The only thing 
i'm concerned about is that STX does video using avi format. I'm not 
sure if Gnome Meeting, for instance, would be able to handle it. What 
video format does QuickCam Pro 4000 use?

Thanks.
