I have found out that Geocities doesn't allow pics shown from their site so I uploaded my pic of the Santa Card to the Paper Arts Gallery. Thanks for looking. Linda Here is a link that might be useful:

Kudzu9, You might try asking your question at DPReview. It is a forum for camera users. You will have to join but if anyone can give you an answer someone there can. After joining just select your camera type from the list of forums. Good Luck and I would like to know if you find an answer. This is a strange problem unless by some chance there was a check mark somewhere to "delete selected photos when done downloading"...........? Here is a link that might be useful: dpreview.com

To receive over the air broadcasts, you will need to buy an antenna, just like in the 60's. Visit antennaweb.org for advice about which antenna is best for your location -- you may need one with an amplifier. My TV can get only one local station with its internal antenna -- to see more I would have to buy an external one too. You can also visit the major networks' websites and watch many of their shows for free. For example, I am always at work when my favorite shows are on and I don't have a DVR so I watch later on PBS's and TNT's websites. It is possible to connect your computer to your TV, either with an HDMI cable or RCA cables, to see the video on the TV screen instead of your computer's monitor. Another option that costs $ is to subscribe to a service like Netflix, where you can see many (but not all) TV shows as well as movies. And, if you want to see the local station's news shows, they also have websites where you can usually see the broadcast live, or watch segments later. The TV tuner that hooks to your computer can't unscramble a scrambled signal from your cable outlet. I have used one to try to record a program with my laptop and was able to see most of my basic cable channels by hooking the cable/internet outlet to the tuner which then plugged into my laptop. As I recall I had to really search to find the active channels, the channel numbers for the tuner didn't correspond to the channel numbers of the cable company. The difference may be that I was still paying for cable -- so I could receive the channels -- while you are not. I don't know if cable TV content is still accessible via the cable if you have a Comcast internet access subscription but not cable TV-- I doubt it.

A new memory card to be used in a camera should always be formatted in the camera before its first use. However, unlike IowaGirl's standard practice, you shouldn't reformat it every time you reinsert the card into the same camera. You will only shorten its life that way. A card, generally speaking, can only be reformatted a certain number of times. The better quality card can be reformatted more times than a lesser quality card, but, nonetheless, it will reach the end of its "formattable life" sooner or later -- sooner if you reformat a lot. And there's really no reason to reformat it unless it's acting up. Many memory cards intended for use in cameras come with free image recovery software. When you delete a picture (or a data file), it is still recoverable as long as it hasn't become corrupted. When you delete something, it's not really removed from the card/disk/hard drive. All that happens is that a command is given that the area of the media that was used to store that image/file is now available to be used for something else to be saved. And there is more sophisticated software available that can recover images/data files even after something new has been saved over it -- that's what happens, for example, when forensic teams work with hard drives when crimes are committed.
