Do you want me to sit in the corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?

Sure, I still haven't done Arno's - whoops!. Must be the most belated prize in history. Sorry again, as Butterbur says from LOTR, "One thing drives out another". I'll also do a past winners section, may as well keep them in some order for posterity. As another prize, the winner can have a 250ml tub of my special snail mix  , mailed to them for free! I know it could be made by anyone but at least it feels like you win something. |

I should think photo places do that.
The only shop I know for sure that does though is Boots. They have the memory card machines and I think they take all the major types, and any brand of that type.
Ooo I've just remembered, Klick photopoint shops should do it, the last one I went to did.
It would make sense for them to do it, loads of people have digital cameras but not a pc.
Is the other comp with the broken drive on xp? If so it should find the driver for the camera, and you can just change the sizes of them online. Unless of course you need the software to upload them lol I know some do, mum has a camera like that. Mine you can just plug in and upload them without software.

Mike, tell me what version of Windows and give me the make and model of your camera. I'm sure I'll be able to find the drivers online.

Your camera is a "USB Storage Class" device so it doesn't actually use a driver. All you have to do is plug it in via the USB cable and it will appear in My Computer as "Removable Storage". Double click that and you find folder that contain your pics and video. Then you just need to copy or move them to the desktop or one of your own folders.

tbh i think thats a little too soon, i reckon it should only be every 4 - 6 months not every 2 months  i think the entries will decrease each time due to boredom, no offense of course, just my opinion... |

I'm used to them every month on the fish site so I like the idea of them being regular. Obviously there's more different fish than there is snails, but snails do a lot more "poses" than fish lol
I know I'll be entering every time, but if other people get bored then that is a shame as we all take great pics!!

If there are only 2 or 3 competitions a year then there wont be such a good final competition, composed of all previous winners, like an annual final. Also, the hall of fame to be constructed by Paul on the petsnails site would hardly have anyone in it lol. For now, the dates will stand as they are. |
