Hey, all, Just checking by to say hello from here at home. I managed to move everything back in one piece. I took some pictures of my cats and was going to put them up before I remember my mom doesn't have a USB port to download the pictures to her computer. :-( Maybe I'll find some way to get them on here.

Now I can make you all feel REALLY sorry for me - I still have to download ALL of mine via serial wire due to card reader being low priority next to food, clothes, petrol (They kill us over here with that!) etc..... I'm working on about 1min per picture!! It's a case of set it up, go have a meal, come back and read a while......boo hoo! Things WILL change soon, though! Hurrah! (erm, did you say $25? That's what, 18? B|_|gger me, cheapest I've found here is 35!!! Tch.....)

Thanks for the advice, all, Unfortunately, my camera is currently set up for USB only. And, being the poor college student that I am and right before I start my summer internship, I have no spare money lying around. :-( Malenchite
