    I've spent a large part of today re-organising my various photo sections on my computer ... Photo Genic, SS Phots, etc. I had them all in one, so to speak, and decided to do Flowers, Minkies (they're my cats), "us" photos, Casa'd Gardens, Visitors, etc, so moved all these things to their respective categories.

    I hear you saying ... what is she saying? Do you remember slides ... in the 50s / 60s? When friends and family came around you got out your slide projector, your slides, put your white sheet up on the wall if you didn't happen to have a white wall handy and everybody sat down with drinks and snacks and watched your slide show! :eek:

    Then came the photo phase when everybody sat down and leant over each other looking at photos in the album. [​IMG]

    Then came cam corders ... haven't got a clue as never wanted one! :rolleyes:

    Then came digicameras big time and now everybody has got to cram around you computer looking at your screen! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Is this progression or are we going back to the slide shows of the 50s / 60s in a more modern environment ...... :confused:

    Progress Lof L. First there were slides show with just one a projector, then there were albums with multiple books, then there was digital and now you got to have a pc and a Tv, or a pc and a projector. So more money, more kit, more difficult - defintely progress :D :D
