Re: Goodbye to APS, and Question About CD-Rs.

Greetings Mort,

Sounds like you have a great camera there, digital is amazing.

Sorry to learn that you did not get good service from your printing
efforts,
however, did you ever try a different processor?  Might make a difference
if
you  use your camera in the future.

Good luck with digital, you are going to enjoy it.  By the way, the Kodak
EasyShare software that is included with Kodak cameras includes directly
links to processors to make it easy to print on your home printer, or via
their digital services which are really pretty good.  You may want to
experiment with them some time. Also, once you upload your images to
Ofoto,
you can store them online and share them with others etc. if you like. 
They
will also make lots of variations on your images including making a CD.

You should be able to burn a CD of your digital images in JPG or any other
format.  The key to reading image files is in the software you use, not so
much the CDBurner.

Talk to you soon, Mort,

Happy Holidays
Ron Baird
Eastman Kodak Company
