Microsoft LifeCam VX-6000 Web Cam

Well, it's pretty well and good, although, it's the only one I've ever owned. Taking pics might be easier; not sure how to do it, other than pointing and clicking, which is good enough, I suppose. I like the record feature. Not sure how to upload those yet, or what all I can do with them.
I do not like how it humptely sets on the laptop, but I do like the circular stand; the laptop compatibility appears to be a secondary feature and not a very sturdy one. I also find it hard to adjust the camera without dirtying the lens with my finger. The zoom in out seems quite effective, yet I am not aware yet, or if at all, of other possible picture adjustments.
Thank you, and good night; please be sure and smack the waitress and/ or waiter with the tights pants on your way out, or perhaps a friendly wink, nod, or "thank you" will suffice.
Amen...
