Actually, I do have the San-Disk device/cable, but my laptop has a input slot in the front to accept the little picture disk from the digital camera. One less step I guess. Following my daughters instructions, I downloaded the pictures on the disk to my picture folder on my computer. I did post them here, just need to learn how to post more than one photo at a time. My head is spinning with all this, but I'm working thru it. Thanks.
