I forgot to tell you all one fun thing!! I bought my own Christmas present last Friday, a digital camera. It was not an expensive one, but I hope it will work for my purposes. I haven't even had time to look at it yet!!! I am copying the instructions from Countryside on how to post pictures on these forums. So maybe after the first of the year I will have some pictures to show everyone!!

Ya know, I tell my kids that if they go snooping and find their presents I have saved the receipts and WILL take them back to the store. And there will be no replacements! No one better tell them I found a few hidden gifts as a kid!

We bought a digicamera last time in the U.S. After buying a computer recently with USB, we've been able to get our pictures online here, if you want some mug shots and fishing poles.

I bought one of those Sony Mavica digital cameras that puts the pictures right onto a 3.5" disk. I got it used on Ebay and really like it. The only complaint I have is the same reason the guy from whom I bought it got rid of it. It's BIG! Life is full of tradeoff, though, and I guess this is one of them. Good luck with your camera.
