I like Flickr. I did end up going pro, because I hit the limit of what I could do with the free account, but I think it's a reasonable expense for a software I use pretty considerably.

I do like Picasa, and I like the Windows software they offer. But flickr got to me first, I guess.

I'm quite impressed by Picasa's upload, at least. It's miles better than Yahoo's. Galaxies better.

I use Picasa to manage the pictures on my hard drive. Aside from its reluctance to monitor anything in my Application Data directory tree, it's a godsend.

My dad loves Picassa. I love flickr.

Yes. That's really all I have to add.

I may have to stay with Flickr because of the ease of sharing with friends who are on it. On the other hand, there's nothing to say that I can't just rotate in my latest pictures, and use Picasa for my big sets and total 'collection'. Hmmm.

I love Flickr, but I did have to shell out for a Pro account almost immediately because of the upload limitations.

Tried Picasa way back when, wasn't a fan. There was something wonky about how they wanted to organize things. Can't remember what it was off the top of my head now.

I use Flickr because it's the first thing I tried. I'm easy. I find it's easeit to use something that works okay than spend a lot of effort trying to find the perfect thing, which may not even exist.

Question: I'm trying to install my old HP 5300C scanner to Window XP, and it's strongly cautioning me not to do so because it hasn't passed Windows Logo something blah. I really don't want to buy another scanner. Is this a serious consideration, or can I just install the damn thing?

Just "install the damn thing."

I did. It can't find the scanner. Even though it's sitting right there plugged in and everything. I hate my computer.

I inputted your scanner info and windows XP into google and scanned for the most likely to help.
