Congratulations, Terry. I would, however, recommend using an sd card.
You can purchase these at walmart/sam's, best buy, etc. I recommend
sam's if you have access to one to because they seem to be the cheapest.
Next would be walmart. You can get a 2 G card about $15 or less. The
reason I recommend the card is because you can pop it out of the camera
and into the computer (if you have a card reader on your computer, which
you probably do). This will allow you to avoid using the software that
comes with camera and you will not have to worry about any accessibility
problems.

Another tip, is that you will probably want to set the camera to the
highest quality picture setting. If you need help with this, I can
probably look this up and send you detailed directions off-list. I
recommend this setting for you because you want to blow it up on the
computer. This will make your picture files size larger and take up more
room on the card, but it will allow you to have a nicer picture when you
blow it up.

The easy share manual is pretty easy to understand but if you and your
sister need help, just let me know. I'm pretty sure the manual is also
available from the kodak website so you could download it to your
computer and have one that you can read.

Good luck.

Cindy
