My Webcam Broke

Sure, I've had it for well over 4 years now, and the lens bit was broken/loose, and I know I've needed a new one for ages, but last night I noticed it had actually stopped working - I can't get Windows to even work out what USB device it is, it just knows something is connected and not installed properly. Yes, I've tried restarting and trying every USB port, but still no joy. This could be the excuse I need to buy myself a nice digital camera (that can also be used as a webcam).
I was playing with the BitTorrent source code again last night, and discovered there's an 'advanced_ui' interface that basically shows you mroe info, lets you play with half a dozen settings, and lets you resize the window. I accidentally stumbled across it while trying to work out how to save an additional setting, as I want to add an option to the client. I still haven't managed to make it work yet, or get the extra functionality I'm after, but hopefully I'lll work it out. And perhaps add some of the advanced_ui features into the normal version of the client (some of us like to know how many peers and seeds there are without having to open the Peer List).
