Sharing Photos with Friends

[Boris]

Hi,

This request may be impossible.

My dad used to use the Comcast Photo Show to share his digital pictures
with friends. He is completely pc/digital illiterate. He doesn't know how
to use Windows explorer, let alone understand files and folders, but with
the now discontinued Comcast Photo Show, he could insert his camera SD card
into the reader slot on his pc, and the Photo Show application guided him
through creating a slide show that he could then send to his friends.

He doesn't even know how to reuse his SC cards. When he'd run out of
space, he'd go out and buy another card. I've tried for over 10 years to
show him the way around his pc, etc., but he refuses to learn.

Is there any program that he can use to make slide shows, or at least that
will let him insert his pictures (reduced size) in his Outlook Express? He
runs XPHome.

Thanks.

I'm thinking Picasa may be the best bet for my dad. I 'think' (not sure) I
can set it so that whenever a media card is inserted into the pc, Picasa
copies the pics on the card. I think I can show him how to place and hold
multiple pics in the Picasa photo tray, and then select Email.

I think Picasa may the best bet. Or I think some cameras now have
built-in WiFi to directly upload photos to the web. You could research
those.
