The component on my computer enabling pictures to be scanned in and downloaded has expired, and I did not know how to use it in any case, all of my computer training having been limited to a few, job-related programs. If there some way to use photobucket as one's collection of pictures to use in messages to other PC participants? I do not know anything about photobucket, but have heard about it. Thanks in advance for any information. ~ Sincerely ~ billieJ
