Phlip ... have you seen the ridiculously low prices on decent digital 
cameras these days?  Several years ago I bought my Kodak DC120 mega-pixel 
at a 'steal' of around $400.  Yesterday I was in K-mart and Wal-Mart and 
took a quick look at their digital cameras ... multi-mega-pixel, 2 or 3 or 
more optical zoom plus digital zoom, etc.... and in the neighborhood of 
$140-$175.  If all you want a digital camera for is to upload to your 
computer or to the internet, then you don't even need to go up to the 
mega-pixel size.

If you don't mind the risk, there's even some great deals to be had via 
e-bay.  But just for the sake of seeing what you can get for not much $$$ 
these days, take a look at

This listing has a lot of information on the Kodak camera being 
offered.  It looks like it was copied from the Kodak brochure.
