dr bought me a scanner so though I have a lot to do today, I have messes around all morning on the computer. I installed it and did a sample scan and lost the picture. But, I discovered I did not actually scan it, just previewed it. Now, I think I have it figured out. Hopefully next time it will work exactly as it is supposed to work. I decided that I needed to condense my pictures so I moved each month's worth of pictures into files. That didn't go as smoothly as I would have liked but I guess it was my fault. It couldn't be the computer. Computers only do what you tell them, right? Anyway it's all done. I may have to search for some pictures but eventually after a few days I may find them. Now, on to other things. Dooley
I really want to get around to scanning in all of my family's old photos. It would be terrible if some were lost or destroyed so maintaining a digital backup by scanner is on the to-do list.
That's the reason for the scanner. I have a lot of family pictures that I need to scan and then put on a disc or e-mail them to Andy. He's going to make a dvd slide show out of them. I guess I will make a backup disc of them, too. I need to make an index of the pictures in the folders but I have to have some instruction on that so it will wait until Dan is less busy. Dooley
slide show free You can make your own slide shows at...slideshow.com, I have 4 already they are so cool!! also to fix your photo's in all different ways and or re-size I use Picasa2 it's wonderful and also a free download...
I'm not too computer literate so Dan usually shows me what to do and I have a book where I write down each step. Andy is doing the slide show with all the family pictures. Brothers and sisters are all supposed to be sending their pictures. Dooley
