Bush Tucker Man:
Is there such as thing available as a 2 into 1 USB cable?
My PC has a couple of  rear sockets, but they're occupied by the monitor & keyboard.
There are also 2 sockets at the front, currently occupied by scanner, Hi-Fi stacker link & the digital camera's lead.

I've ordered the AOL broad-ban up-grade, and it seems from reading the 'blurb' on screen that it requires a USBsocket.
I'd like a 2 into-1 so I don't pull the wrong plug & by accident.


Still wanting information, see 'Luddite Admits...' about transferring digital camera images to Webshots (Andy!!)

muddyweb:
You can get a little something called a USB hub.

Get a 4 way one, and you'll have some spare.  4 into 1 from dabs.com is about 11 quid, so don't pay too much more if you shop at PC World.

Andy.:
Sorry Richard.

Right go to webshots and register http://community.webshots.com/

Personalise your own page.

Click on add new album.

There you can create a name for your album.

Next page will ask you to add photo's.

By now I presume you have already uploaded your pictures from your camera to your PC. And placed them in a folder.

Select upload and browse your PC for the right folder, click on the photo and webshots will upload it to the site.

When finished you can edit the photo, or upload more.

There is the standard webshot package which is free, but I have the Unlimited package which costs but allows more albums etc...

AOL also do a similar package http://aol.photobox.co.uk/ what it's like I don't know.

HTH any questions just ask  :wink:

Bush Tucker Man:
Thanks Tim.
I'll have a look next time I go into Wakefield, or ask our IT boys if they've got a spare one around the offices next week. One of our A&E consultants might be worth asking as well.
Didn't want to distract you too long at Langley Farm regarding the tow-bar I sent you, just so long as you're satisfied with it.

Andy.
I downloaded the 'Webshots' programme a while ago, along with the 'My Photos Assistant' & 'Irfanview'.

I'll have a go shortly and play around.
I still haven't got a lot of images from the digital camera yet, anyway most of the stuff I want to put on is from 'proper' photographs.

I've still got some nice piccies from when the ARC national was at Rudding Park in 1987.

I'll just follow your instructions.

Andy.:
If you have a good scanner then pop your proper photo's on your PC that way then is much the same from there on, but I found digi photo's were best.

Might of been the cheap scanner though  :?:

Good luck  :wink:
