I purchased a new headset and webcam with some of my birthday money. The headset is a Logitech ClearChat Style, and I really like it. My sound card has Headphone Virtualization, which makes it sound really good. I’ve been playing around with speech recognition in Vista. It has been working pretty cool for dictation, and some command tasks. And I’ll be able to join in my friend’s podcasts over at dotpaw.org.
The headset came bundled with a Labtec WebCam 1200. Not necessarily a great one, but hey it was bundled 
I’ve had some odd problems with activating the software, and with the picture quality, but trying to work out the software issues first. And it’s made to go on a flat panel monitor, and i have a 21″ CRT, so I have to use the “stand up” option, which is not stable.
