I don't have a mac, but I transfer a lot more than 150 images when I back up my stuff or set up a new computer. I just click on my computer, then the memory card, highlight all the pictures and copy and paste them into a folder on the desktop or where ever you want them. My memory card for my camera has a folder with the pictures in it and I just transfer the folder.

sueb20, I used to do mailings & am knowledgeable about importing, exporting, manipulating data. If you're comfortable with the idea, I can change your Works word processor data into a format that you can import into a spreadsheet or that great little Works database. Once the data is into a spreadsheet or database, use the Works Mail Merge to create labels. Please email me if you like via GW. It might take me 15-30 minutes to fix your addresses into mergeable data.

To imbed images in your GardenWeb posts there are three steps: 1. Digitize photos 2. Upload pics to the internet (hosting site) 3. Link to the pics Digitize Many people have digital cameras, which automatically digitize their pics. You can also have your photos developed with a company which will save your pics onto a CD. There are other photo developing companies which will upload your pics onto an 'album' created for you on their web site. A last option is to scan your pics manually. Upload to the Internet Most of the free image hosting sites have disappeared but if you'll check the properties of a photo inserted into a GW message (place cursor on pic, select right mouse button, then select Properties> you can see which image hosting site that person uses. Another way to find image hosting sites is to do a search for "free image hosting". There are many free image hosting sites but very few allow direct linking - that is, allow your pic to appear from within a GW message. Once you've chosen an image hosting site you'll need to follow the instructions on that site to upload the images from your computer. Generally it involves creating a userID, creating albums, then navigating thru your computer to specify the location of the pic(s) you want to upload. Link GardenWeb allows HTML coding within the body of a message. The format of that HTML is: [img src=""] where you use less than symbols instead of the [ and ]. Type that exact code into your GW message but put the URL of your pic within the quotes.

Since posts are composed WYSIWYG the preview feature is real time. To delete a picture from a post as you are composing it use delete or backspace on the keyboard as you would do with text. Something that bugs me about this forum and it is the same as it was with GW is that when "YOU" post to a thread it shows as newly posted to (highlighted). Your own post should drive a thread to the top but it should only be highlighted if someone other you has posted to it alerting you to new posts. I dont need to be alerted to the fact that I have posted and the only way to removed the highlighting is to visit the thread just after posting which is kind of silly if you had just posted there.
