When I told him I wasn't running one, he asked if the car will work without a hood. Work meaning will the engine run. mmmhmmmm. :shock:

That's when I would start messing with them.

Yes I do. Is there a way to dump the pics right from the camera on to this web site? What I have been doing is loading them on to my pics and than attaching them to the post.

If you hook the camera up via cable you can go to "my computer" and it should be there and just open it like your my pics folder.
