Hi Wilma

Thanks for sharing this info...I know some of the cameras have come out
with 3 1/2 " floppies which to me is great!!  With my artwork and such
this would be ideal for putting together a portfolio without spending
and arm and a leg at a printer.  Yet I still could take the disk into
anywhere like Kinkos and get multiple copies if my computer died!!

These cameras are really coming down in price and I took a class in
digital photography which was well worth it.  You learn a software
program such as photoshop besides learning how to take shoots witha
digital camera and believe me they are different.  I still do alot of
35M manual shots with my old Canon AE1...love it.  I use alot of black
and white film and it seems that people enjoy them just as much as the
color.

Thanks again for sharing the info...my hubby is using a digital camera
at work (Kodak) for recording flaws and problems in maching work too.  I
almost feel like going to work with him just to show him how to use it
and download into his computer...maybe sneek some of piece in...LOL
