: I have no idea of what you meant with what you said

Sorry don, I didn't mean to throw that much jargon at you. I guess I was in a little bit of a hurry. Technology is here to make our jobs easier; jargon and excessively technical language too often screen that.

: I sent the expanation
: to cyberlink with a note to translate into small words.

I case he doesn't get back to you: Cyberlink has space on the internet already reserved for your pictures. All you have to do is install the right software that lets you send the pictures there. Of course there is a small setup overhead:

1) find out what your internet directory is from cyberlink. My internet directory is http://www.nwlink.com/~chips. Yours will be something like http://www.cyberlink.bc.ca/~dflowers

2) get File Transfer (FTP) software that lets you send files to your internet directory. I suggest WS-FTP for Windows machines or Fetch for Macintosh. Both are cheap.

That's it! The computer companies want you to think this stuff is complicated - so they can rescue you with their expensive software suites. Don't believe it :)
