Jo Anne answered your question about the size of the photos on the CD, = so I'll skip that topic. But... remember... after the backup is done, make sure you check it so = that you know those backups are working. Nothing worse than formatting = the drive and later finding out the CD or DVD cannot be read. Regarding Picasa... yes, probably best to start a new thread. Makes it = easier for members who are Picasa-saavy to spot the post which they = otherwise would have ignored. Go see your grandchildren... tell them the tale of the technologically = advanced grandma! Tell 'em by next Christmas you'll be able to build = them a system from scrap metals!!! ;o) ____________________________________ Sir Troth ICQ #1717439 AIM/AOL: SirTrothX Yahoo: SirTroth MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (do not email me here) My Personal Email: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- =20 -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx = [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of betty Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 11:42 AM To: PCTechTalk Subject: -=3DPCTechTalk=3D- Firefox Revisited I never dreamed it would happen, but I finally did it! Not everything,=20 perhaps, that I should have, 'cause I just don't have the stamina=20 (concentration?) to do it all. But I do have most the important stuff. I think. Except for my photos. I don't have a huge collection....probably 2 to=20 300. I guess my question is, when a CD has written to its maximum, does it let you=20 know so you can put in a new one? And is there anyway to judge beforehand, how many = pics will fit on a CD? Should I start a new thread about Picassa, so many someone out there = that is knowledgeable it can offer suggestions on how to copy them> I can't thank you guys enough, Troth and Don, especially. I now have the = backup, and keeping my fingers crossed that my 'puter won't crash. I'm leaving=20 Monday to see my grandchildren and daughter for the first time in over a year.=20 I hope I don't come home to a dead computer! There's no way I can do anything=20 this week.
