I did a full backup a couple of months ago, but I remember having to be walked through it and that it took a long time.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-84179970505327724522010-02-25T06:07:05.205-08:002010-02-25T06:07:05.205-08:00Michelle and Amanda - Thank you for your words of ...Michelle and Amanda - Thank you for your words of advice. This gives me something specific to look into. I have a lot of new computer needs and hope that least some will be here by next Christmas.... Love the idea of a scanner small enough to carry with me!Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-80645513586102242322010-02-24T18:11:16.876-08:002010-02-24T18:11:16.876-08:00You are way ahead of me on that 2 challenge.

It works really well and is so thin I can fit it in my laptop bag, which works well when I visit relatives. It also connects right into your computer through its USB cable, so no power cord to look after.Amanda E.

Initially I started an account because I still like to print up the snapshots of our vacations. However, I have started uploading scanned copies of older family photos. They allow you to organize your photos in folders and as near as I can tell, you get unlimited storage.<br /><br />I have also used many of their other products in addition to printing such as making photo books, calendars, mousepads, posters and other gifts and been very pleased.<br /><br />I to am considering a new scanner so I will be interested in any comments that are made.<br /><br />Good for you in writing up a backup plan!! That is something I really should do but thinking about it makes my head hurt too!Michelle Goodrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427355155193196767noreply@blogger.com
