don26 Posted May 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks kalos, you're a star, you too geomagot. I shall get some photos on, as soon as I have done all the washing & ironing from Portraits. And posted a report of course although stevie has beaten me to it. My first wife (I just call her that to keep her on her toes), now wants to squeeze in a Med Cruise (2 weeks of course) in June, before our Fire & Ice in July. I need to win the lottery before I go bankrupt (or die of hard w**k - I can't even write that 4-letter word). Cheers mate, you're a true White Rose Man.

CRUISIN LINDA Posted January 23, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Hi kalos, how's the sugar levels? Not so much of the "poor" Linda either ;) although I will be if the interest rates don't go up soon :D Just a quibble - your heading should say How to UPLOAD photos :D Anyway, I digress (as usual) This is how I put a picture on :) 1) Google - tinypic (you don't need to join anything) 2) Browse - choose a picture from your photos - double click on photo. 3) Resize - you can choose website/email OR message board according to what size you want 4) Upload- (this may take a few seconds and sometimes you have to copy something to prove you are human being!!) 5) Share this image - 2nd one down (for Forums and message board) - Left click, right click and copy. 6) Go to your message on CC and click paste. All done (It's a good idea to preview the post before you submit it, to make sure you have done it right ;) Good luck :) Edited January 23, 2014 by CRUISIN LINDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakanne1 Posted January 23, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm trying to choose a new laptop. Wish I could find the same good advice on line as I do on here for cruises, and hopefully putting photos on when I get round to it. I have sheets of comparisons but have boiled it down to a few. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeholiday2 Posted January 23, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Sorry for going OT, but avoid the cheapo ones from PC world/currys like emachines and advent. These are the ones I normally get asked to look at. Go for a known named brand, and be careful with the power socket, that's always the weak spot on a laptop. If you don't need the portability of a laptop then go for a proper base unit and monitor set up, they are always more reliable, and easy to upgrade. JMHO Joe.

I definitely want a laptop...I like to put it away out of site when not in use. I am also going for a touch screen for Windows 8 and because I am used to an iPad. I cannot justify paying the price for an Apple though would love one. I really just need a new one to store photos, etc because my old Sony is so slow and about 8 years old. I am looking at an Acer E1-572 with i5, 4Gb and 750 Gb or a Sony FIT 15 1521c2 with i3, 4Gb and 500Gb. Both same price at PC W (£530) and other spec is similar. I could pay £30 each extra and get a slightly better processor (i5) on the Sony, but I don't think it is worth it. I am going to PC W. now to have a "feel" of the machines and buy one. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geomagot Posted January 23, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) i have an acer aspire all in one pc, its a touch screen but full desktop size (not a laptop)...all the computer gubbins are inside the screen somewhere so no base unit I got it because it was touch screen and I was also used to an ipad...I'm very pleased with it I can watch telly on it too....when i am in my shed:cool: Edited January 23, 2014 by geomagot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakanne1 Posted January 23, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I chose the Sony....don't know why except it had better screen colours next to the Acer, even though its HD was smaller. I almost tossed a coin! Yours sounds good, Geo. It's amazing the choice when you go to these out of town stores. I have to go back tomorrow to pick mine up as I have left it there for them to set it up. Probably could have done it myself and saved some pennies. Then had to buy Office...etc.... Could have paid for a weeks cruise in the end!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISIN LINDA Posted January 23, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think I had Office free for a year, then my son, who works for the council, was able to get it for £8.95 through his employer (All legal :)) I did set mine up myself - was quite chuffed with myself :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't mind if it is not a pic of a cruise ship but it would make good practice for when you do cruise and maybe want to post a photo on here .

CRUISIN LINDA Posted January 23, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi Kalos, glad you are keeping well :) My son recommended tinypics as you don't have to sign up for anything (just have to put up with a few adverts on the side, just mute and ignore them :)) Quite simple (like me, lol) :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
