Hmm. This might just be way cool. I'm not anywhere near a pro when it
comes to photography (just love to have a digital picture of my thumb
in front of the lens, ha ha) but I have a Kodak C310 thing that I got
sometime back. It's nowhere near as good as some of the monster
cameras I've seen with their 10+ megapixel & SLR but it should be OK
for "hobby" purposes.

I do have a few pictures of Picnix that I could upload - some in fact
showing kids & others interacting with the XO laptop :).

I went onto the site - it looks like I need to login & create a new
album, right? Or would it be better to email the pics directly to you
so you can adjust them for size and so forth first?
