[plug] When is the next installfest?

[David & Lisa Buddrige]

Hi Harry,

That laptop is now my wife's laptop.  It's also a bit on the small side
(486, 24mb ram, <300mb hard-drive). 8-)

ATM, my biggest desire is for getting my kodak camera working on my laptop,
both of which I take on holiday with me.  Having the camera work with the
laptop means I can download the pic's and therefore not have to invest $ in
extra memory cards.  It's also handy for viewing them (Better than the tiny
camera-screen, and it doesn't chew my camera batteries )

thanks

David.
