Google Chrome is nice, too.

http://www.google.com/chrome/

Some people prefer it to Firefox because it seems to start up and run faster.

Thank you to everyone. I have sent in my Christmas picture to Wolf Camera to be printed (Tuesday and Wednesday is 6 cents a print). Thank you.

ComputerTraining.com, apparantly the Challenge is only for those who want to be in the program

I think this computer training.com is a big rip off! My husband signed up and realized in the beginning that it was a mistake but was talked into sticking it out because he was going to do well. Well he should have quit then and paid $6,000 but he went halfway and nothing that was taught was ever on the tests so he dropped it and has to pay $13,000 for nothing! He didnt get anything out of it. I don't think this is right. How do these people sleep at night!

Does anyone here pay for a website?

Nope I try to avoid such sites because some may be scammers. I get a little nervous giving out my bank account number so I don't bother and I'll try to find all the free stuff instead

I use the freebie site webs.com. Then I buy a domain name from GoDaddy and have it redirected to my webs.com site.

whats the best memory card for your camera?

RudiXeno — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:46:20 GMT

SDHC is definitely the way to go. Get the highest class you can for seamless non-stuttering video. If I'm not mistaken that's Class 6 (but don't hold me to it). If you get an 8GB card and you store your pics as jpeg files you can probably fit all the photos you're likely to take for the rest of your life on it.

I just got a new camera and put the memory card into the new one from the old one.

You should be looking for SDHC cards (Greater than 2Gb capacity) since they will offer higher speeds. In fact, there are ratings for SDHC memory card called "Class" and these have a huge effect on the potential speed of your purchase.

My favorite is kodak.com. You can download all your pictures and fix them to your needs. You can also order your prints there too and have them mailed to you or you can pick a store near you to pick them up.

Picasa 3 - download it from free from Google.com (the more tab). It's so easy. I need professional looking photos for my articles online and this is the easiest tool I have ever found.

Gimp is an incredibly powerful and easy photo editor. It's available as a free download at: http://www.gimp.org/.

Are you planning to order these photos from an online website for printing? Because if that is the case, you can crop the photos directly on the website (shutterfly, snapfish, etc).

If that is not the case, and you just want to crop it for yourself, see if your computer has Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Who knows, you may already have it.

If not, you can try Serif PhotoPlus (click for review). It's free and let's you do many things from easy to advanced. It takes a little bit of learning, but Cropping is probably one of the easiest things to do with this.

I use Paint.net (google "download paint.net"). It's free, simple to use, and fairly full-featured. I'm a PC user, though it's a java app which suggests it may run on a Mac (though I'm not sure what installers are available or whether any tweaks are needed).

Let me begin by admitting that I am Not computer savy. We recently had a family Christmas photo taken. In EVERY picture, my sons pants leg is shown (with part of one of the pants legs tucked in his sock). Well, I was wanting to just crop off the bottom of the picture, but I do not have any software on the computer (that I know of) that will do that. Since I do not plan to use this software often, I do not want to pay lots of money for expensive software that can do wonders (since, as I already admitted, I would not know how to get it to do wonders). So, I am looking for suggestions for good free picture cropping software suggestions. Thank you.
