Aha.  Headset with two jacks.  Makes sense.  Al my headsets have one jack
but they're for the telephone.

Oh. My headset has two jacks, that's what was confusing me. I can't see how
it would work with only one connection.

Yeah but they're saying to plug the headset, which has one plug for both
microphone and audio into the sound card.  My sound card has three jacks
(with somewhat obscure icons on them).  Does one of them integrate the input
and output in one?

Yes, should be a mic in and speaker out. Doesn't work any other way...
Unless I missed something :-)

The basic soundcard on the new HPs at work has line in and line out, so I'd
imagine most would have this feature.

Sound card handles both input and output?  I have separate jacks for
speakers and mic.  Do I need a different sound card?

Where do you plug in the headset then?

MAKE SURE that you use a headset with microphone.  Listening to the sound to
speakers and speaking into a mike will cause VERY annoying feedback!!  I do
Skype with one client occasionally and he does not have a headset, and I can
tell you that it is distracting almost to the point of unusable.  You will
speak and then hear yourself about 1/2 second later.  For some reason it
causes the brain to go spastic and makes it very difficult to talk.  OK,
maybe my brain is just spastic but take my word for it, don't do that.

How about speed? Would the lowest broadband handle it?

Any camera will do?  I see some pretty inexpensive at Fry's.
