Margo --

Reporting in from Voyager which now does have WiFi throughout. I have found in Suite 810 that keeping the metal door propped open a few inches with a shoe helps with the Internet speed...most of the time taking it from 24 and 36 Mbps up to 48 or the max 56 Mbps. Maybe the same trick will help on Mariner.

Even after days of frustration, I was unsuccessful in using AOL's picture transfer regime to load photos into my AOL journal. I

Now I load them into Picasa's web site and add a link in my AOL journal. The upload automatically resizes the photos to one of three choices you make. As any of the readers of my journal know, I have been uploadinig many photos (some probably say, "too many!") and surprisingly it doesn't take too long. And I never "time out." Once they are uploaded it's easier to add captions while online than directly in the Picasa program while offline. You can also choose the title photo for each album (not just the first one) and organize (rearrange) the photos once again.

Marco, Voyager's great computer guy, showed me how to use this method and it reallly works. Maybe your instructor could do the same. Good luck. I am enjoying reading your reports.
