Some thoughts about digital pictures

Here's an idea for you if you use a digital camera.  My old friend GOOGLE provides a magnificent tool for handling digital photos.   It's called PICASA and is available free as a download from the GOOGLE website.  With PICASA you can edit your photos, correct for red eye and a plethora of other photo adjustments such as cropping, correcting color casts, lightening or darkening, improving contrast, etc.  And you can email your photos and have PICASA automatically resize them for optimum viewing and fast emailing.  All of PICASA's features are way too numerous to mention here so my recommendation is to download and install a copy and try it out.  Just click HERE.  Guaranteed you won't be disappointed.  (2/6/10)

Here's something you'll find very useful

Ever been sent a WORD document you couldn't open because it was in DOCX format instead of DOC format?  Ever been sent a spreadsheet that you couldn't open because you didn't have EXCEL?  Now a group of major software companies have collaborated on the design and distribution of Open Source Software for office applications.  This is free software, maintained by the OpenSource organization and available free.  Give it a try - you may find it valuable.

OpenOffice.org 3 is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.

Free software
OpenOffice.org 3 is free software. That means you are free to download it, free to install it on as many PCs as you like, free to pass copies to as many people as you like. You may use OpenOffice.org 3 for any purpose without restriction: private, educational, public administration, commercial... Free, really free.

Please Beware!

Many of us have been receiving Emails from what appears to be a close friend that says you could see their photos by going to a site called Tagged.  If you go there it may suck up your address book.  If you get an Email with the word TAGGED, DELETE it.  Don't open it, as it puts your address book at risk of being violated.
