NYNY & THTP - Post your reports here!
Thanks for the info. Yes I did get photo viewer software with my
camera but it's mostly good for transferring the pictures to my harddrive, rotating the orientation of pictures, and burning CDs to be played back on DVD players (via TV). I already use IRFANVIEW, a great tool. My camera uses an xD picture card. I purchased a 128mb storage card at the same time I bought the camera so memory is NOT an issue, even for high resolution pix. And I've got 15 gigs of empty storage on my computer hard drive. For the time being anyway, I'm in no danger of running out of storage space. I burned CDs of our Christmas photos to send home with my daughters and even with high resolution files, the pix used up only 150mb of space. I'm still looking into software for editing and organizing my photos... I didn't get any shots of me (I was the photographer!) so I won't be posting any pictures of me just yet. But the next time I go for a haircut, I'll ask my stylist (and friend from my childhood neighborhood) to snap a photo. I've been wanting one to put next to one of my BEFORE pictures. My next problem will be figuring out how to get it on the web. Thanks for all the tips, Fred. You were generous to give so much of your time.

You might want to extra "film" and Costco sometimes has a good deal on those formats. How's that for a start. And now for a digital image of the famous Prairie Roots!!!!

I had a gratas copy of Thumbsplus 4 and it seemed like a reasonable
tool but I did not use it very often - it contains an organizer and editing tools - I don't know about its more recent versions. I do use Jasc's PaintShopPro but it is getting very complex. Jasc does also have some organizing tools. I forget Adobe's simpler tool but I know it comes with quite a few cameras. Have fun - digital is the new polaroid - instant images.

LOL! You gotta love that pesky ol' scale jumping around, don't you? You do have
a great attitude though and I know this gain will only be temporary. I also over indulged through the holidays. Looking back through the years I did realize that what I now consider over indulging is NOTHING in comparison! Hey, we just enjoyed life a bit fuller than normal - nothing wrong with that on occassion. Right?
