Friends - Thanks enormously for all the good info. After spending some time today at Comp USA (and getting a major confusion headache from all the choices), I've decided that with only three weeks to go before PIP, I simply do not have time to organize and learn a new computer. So we will just have to wait until we get home to watch Pat's videos; and I will continue to burn my digital photos onto CD's using the little portable burner I have taken on the last couple of cruises. Lis, when I start looking again (I will want to get something before our Silver Whisper cruise in November), I will contact you again. (I just sent you a private message.) Thanks. Fred
