You might also consider a photo hosting site like Zenfolio. It provides a back up for your photos as well as a way to share with family and friends, organize alblums, print, link. You have full control on who has access. There are free sites avaliable also but they bombard you with annoying ads. Some of them will even boot you off after a while if you don't order something. I've compared most of the sites available and Zenfolio offers the best bang for the buck. Their Plans run from $24 to $40 per year. The $40 subscription gives you unlimited storage space and up to 10 MB file size. If you don't have a lot of photos to store, the $24 subscription starts at 1 GB and they add 1 GB per year. You can upgrade at any time. You can get $5 off by using coupon code VTB-V1H-D7G They also have a free 2 week trial. My site is just getting set up here: http://tooltime47.zenfolio.com/ SmugMug is good also but the interface is a little clunkier and not as polished as Zenfolio and a little more expensive. I think they start at $40 a year. Dave Here is a link that might be useful: Zenfolio

Wow - I would put my name on the list also if you are shipping it to the attic. I think they are the greatest thing ever! I also have a pig cookie jar that is my favorite think on my kitchen counter! It is a McCoy jar that my parents got as a wedding gift. Most of the frames hold SD cards that you can just zip the pictures onto from your computer or pop in straight from you camera. Many support video and will play MP3's along with the pictures.

gwanny2three, Ok, I have to ask "How did you put music on your frame, mine is Photoshare. Do you think I can put music on too? You can email me direct to tell me how you did yours, if you want. Do you think I can put the music on now after I have the pictures already on? Sorry, I ask dumb questions but .... I love it too!

I upload my from the camera to the hard drive, save them in my pictures by date, as in 03-27-08. By using the 0 in front of a single digit month, it keeps it in the correct order, datewise. If you just type in 3-17-08, when you get to October, which reads 10-17-08, it will put October first in the order saved. I delete the really bad ones, or ones I know I don't want even if they aren't good. I about killed DH one day. He decided to go thru and delete some of the bad pics we had from something, after I had saved what I wanted. Before I had them backed up, as in the next day! I had purposely kept some of the blurry ones, as they were the only ones I had of that particular shot. And I had a use for them. He deleted them. He won't do it again!!!!! I keep them backed up, but unless it's a huge video file, like our trip to Vermont 2 weeks ago when he took video with the camera, I'll leave them on the computer for the whole year, then do another back up of them on a DVD and then I will go thru and delete the ones I don't want to store on the hard drive to show someone when we travel. The video DH took on our trip I will save to DVD and delete, because it takes up so much space. I print all I want printed at home. I have a photo quality printer, and only use the ink for that printer, no refills for priniting pics!!! I don't want to spend that kind of money, even at Walmart to have them all printed, and no where to store them if I did. If there is something I want to give mom & dad, I print my own. I can see all the rest any time I want to by opening that file on the computer, and do so quite often. Tami...whos camera has died, and has to be sent back.
