A Simple Solution

I have a Kodak camera. As you know, Kodak no longer functions as a company. When my laptop crashed back a ways, my camera stopped talking to my computer, so I couldn't download any photos to the laptop. The photo program still worked on the desktop, so I would download over there and email the pictures to myself to move them to the laptop. I can't blog on the desktop unless I run Google Chrome - which I prefer not to do.

Then the word came down about Windows XP being at risk. That pretty much turns our desktop computer into a word processor.

It eventually occurred to me that I would not have any place to download my photos and I would have to get a new camera. So I went to Walmart on my usual shopping expedition yesterday. I checked out the various cameras and picked out a couple that I would be willing to pay for. A lady came over to help me. I was about to tell her which ones I wanted to look at and I started by saying, "I have a perfectly fine camera which still works, but it's Kodak and won't talk to my computer."

She stopped me almost in midsentence and said, "I have an adapter for your memory card. You'll be able to send your pictures directly into the computer."

It works beautifully and I saved about a hundred bucks.  Cool!!

Thanks for visiting with me,
