I don't have time to look them all up. It is really frustrating because I am not computer literate enough to do it myself. Oh well, I am old too, and I also love the old black and whites.
I love the black and white photos, too. I think they look classy depending on the topic. I too have many great photos stuck on the computer. With film, they are there in my hands to send to my Mom in Michigan. I don't want to have to take my computer on our annual trip. I do know that I can develop them in the digital machines, but often they are out of order or the lines are way to long to stand around in. I'm not happy about how technology changes so quickly and the decisions to make perfectly good and useful items become obsolete without the consumers input. Many seniors and others can't afford to keep up and constantly have to upgrade items that still work perfectly.
Sorry, I just realized I'm rambling on and on. My only excuse is that it is 4:00 in the AM and I have had no sleep. I have been quilting since 7:30 Am yesterday.
Trisha, I don't know how old you are, but I bet you could learn how to print your pictures. It isn't really difficult if you can get someone to help you the first time. I used to be terrified of computers and ended up teaching computer class to the entire school the last four years I was a teacher. Have faith in yourself and jump into technology it won't hurt anything if you make a mistake or two. Good luck if you decide to try.
