Dear all,

Husband is asking "If the computer lab on PG have CD-burner?" He want to download his pictures and burn onto a CD everyday.

Husband has a digital SLR and it chews up memory like candy... so he need to sort picture every day.

Thanks!

Cindy

Cindy - As far as I could tell, there was not any capability in the little computer room to burn CD's from memory cards. However, I think that the ship's photographer could do so. A couple of alternatives you might consider: 1. Buy a lot more memory - at Costco, I bought several 1 GB Compact Flash cards for only about $79 each. Those cards can each hold hundreds of very high resolution photos. 2. Buy a compact portable hard drive device onto which your husband can download your photos - the best one I could find was the fabulous Transcend Digital Album, which has 20 GB of memory (about a zillion photos), plus a great little screen to preview the photos and a connection to watch them on the TV in your cabin on the PG. The best price I found for the little device was on mydigitaldiscount.com. It is truly a marvelous little toy. Speaking of watching the photos on your TV, we discovered that the TV's on the PG had the input jacks for our digital cameras. Therefore, be sure to bring along your input cords (the ones with the yellow tips, I think) so that you can look at your photos directly from your camera on the TV in your cabin. Have fun. Cheers, Fred

Computer lab on PG has computer CPUs that are actually locked in the cabinet so you can't even hook any type of device to it - let alone have a CD burner :(

I can affirm what Freddie thought about the ship's photographer being able to burn a CD for you from your memory card. We did not personally use this service so I so not know the cost.

My husband and I do each have the cable to go from our cameras to the yellow recepticle on the TV and so we were able to preview our photos and delete poor shots freeing up more storage space on our cards.

A fellow on our cruise had one of those device's Freddie mentioned and downloaded a picture I took of him and his friend at dinner, cropped it just the way he wanted, and then returned my card to me within a minute or two.

Thanks a lot everyone.

Actually, husband has a 2G CF card, but he wants to dump everything onto a disk everyday to avoid lossing picture (or work on sorting them). Well, he can't be lazy now and got work to clean up picture everyday! :D

Thanks!

Cindy
