Hello builders: I am a new member. I really enjoy looking at all your post and pictures....My cars have the "Rugged Look". I would like to post some photos. I was Born back when cars had "Ostintatious Fenders"....So I am not good with the computer. I used my Wife's nice newer digital camera, it stores your images on a SD card. I build a simple diarama as a back drop for my cars. I took some snaps.....looked really good...My Wife is better with computers than me so she quickly had the images up on my old Lap Top. When we got to the point of sending them to this site a message came up that the file was too large. So we tryed selecting less pics. 4 instead of 7 still no go. My wife at this point said "I am sleeepy and going to bed". She told me that she would study the "Read Me Files" Over the weekend and try to figure it out. I stayed up and looked at the site and help files...Armed with this info. I now know enough to be dangerous. I call my lap top Mr.Computer Head....Now understand me and Mr.Computer Head are not Pals. None the less I gave one more try before "Hit'n the Hay" Hind site being 20/20 I now regret this. In short order I had the Images loaded on to a file the Wizard ask me to select a Web service to send my selections to the web there was only 1 choice MSN. I think it was. I selected it and and clicked on next...Got a message service not able to connect. My options were to try again or close.....I really should have closed...But I thought I was so close, must be missing somthing simple.....Tryed Again and Again" " " " I remember at one point tell'n Mr. Computer Head "Its On Now". I swear I heard a evil "HISSSS" come from the "Hard Drive". At this point I noticed I had a bunch of windows opened on the "Tool Bar". I started closing those and each time it would take me back to files of my "Car Picks" Now by this time its way past the time of nite when anything good happens. Each time Mr.Computer Head ask " Really Teddy Really Do You Want to Delete This File Really What Are You Think'n REALLY" And there were a bunch of 'em...All my attempts over and over "This Is Madness!" I at last reached the end of all the open windows and files on the tool bar....I got the last "REALLY TEDDY REALLY WHAT WERE YOU THINK'N". Now Ol' Mr.Computer Head is not equipped with a slot for the SD Card. This is about the time I noticed that USB Port in the back has the Cable plugged in and at the end of the Cable is OH NO the CAMERA OH NO and the CAMERA IS STILL ON OH NO and OH NO the SD CARD IS STILL IN......"Really Teddy Really What Was I Thinking"? Another EVIL HISS from Mr. Computer Head "SsssssON". So I have not only erased my recent car photos OH NO I have deleted a years worth of my Wifes pictures of our new Grand Son, My Son Ryan and his Wife, Vacation photos, Pictures of Kimmy's Mom and Dad, my Brother in Portland...Everything all gone.....No Mr. Computer Head and I are not Pals. So I am really in the "Dog House" with my Wife. I have been bannished to the old Digital Camera...uses a SD card but quality is not great. Still after all this I'd like to post some pics. suggestions pleas. The brite side to this is my wife was able to down load some Soft Ware and got the data on the SD card restored ,$20 bucks out of my model car budget a small price to pay....Looks like Mr. Computer Head Wins Again. Swell.
