Karen sorry for your experience but glad you are starting to get over it with your Camera.
I started taking digital pictures about 8 years ago when I retired and bought a Minolta Dimage7. I went up the hills and wanted to help others to do the same. Pictures uploaded then had to be 56k or less and my website reflected this. Two years later I somehow got un-retired and I am still working and enjoy taking pictures although time is now somewhat limited.
Jim.
