The thing is, the 1.8 meter cable on the iSight might be handy if you 
have a desktop that's buried under the desk someplace, but for use on a 
PowerBook they should offer a shorter (like a 1.5') cable.  The 
Firewire cable provided with iSight has a slim-profile connector to fit 
inside the small plastic clip-together mount and most replacement 
cables won't work without alteration.  It's no big deal to shorten it 
if the excess cable is a problem.  Any electronics repair technician 
that knows how to use a soldering pencil can do it.  I shortened mine 
when I got it.

You can also use a Zip Linq (

handy to have for a PowerBook anyway.
