Here's waay too much information on Why Elf Hasn't Posted Pictures:

I need tech support.

Seriously.

There are some pictures of me on my computer at home. They do exist.

This computer that they are on is the one that has the software for downloading from my camera. This computer is not online. On this computer, there is a zip drive and a CDRom drive.

No other computer that I have access to has a zip drive. None.

Sooo. I try to install the download software for my camera on the hubby's computer, which has a writeable cd drive thingy, a 3.5" floppy drive, etc. It's not online either, but I figure I can download from the camera to his computer, save to disk, bring said disk in to work and upload. Easy, right?

No good. Software is not compatible with the OS he's running (Windows 2000NT, I think).

So I have him take the 3.5" floppy drive off his computer, and stick it in mine. Figure I'll get them off my computer that way, bring them to work and upload. Easy, Right?

Ohh, no. There's no place to put it.

The guy put my computer together went all weird and the way it's set up, another disk thing just simply won't fit.

So the Hubby will pick up a longer cable for the floppy drive and figure out some way to make it work.

Ohhhh, maybe he can just hook it up long enough to save the pics to the disk?

There's no reason the tower has to be all closed up, is there?
