But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Mostly lurking...

My dad loves Picassa. I love flickr.

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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?

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm holding it right in front of the screen but it still says it can't find it!
