[PD] Webcam advice

[Jonathan Goodwin]

Phew!

Just got in from trudging the city centre of Plymouth...no Firewire webcams,
only USB! Doh!

How do USB cams fare with the PD, GEM and Mac OS X combo? I'm sure I read
somewhere that they won't work, am I right?...should I just be ordering a FW
cam online already?!
