As a totally non computer owning person I have a question which I have sought answers to by doing some google searching Either they are selling a computer program for that or some similar service.
This year March I bought a Kodak Z1275 digital camera which claims as one of its benefits an "easy share " feature. I find it takes good quality photos , 12 Mb, resoulution, but I can forget about action photography due to lag time. For thatI will revert to my trusty film SLR.
My question is this: can somebody explain in short simple terms, or refer me to a website where such is done, how I might be able to transfer photos from the SD card or the camera itself onto postings on this site using a computer NOT MY OWN in a cibercafe? I have the USB cable for the camera and a USB card reader thingy . I do not own a computer nor do I know anything about the arcana of computer usage other than web surfing , doing e-mail and HUBB posts The camera came with a CD rom disc to explain the camera- but having no computer I never found out what is on there. The owners manual booklet is woefully inadequate, assumes that everyone has computer savvy and computer hoohup.
I take lots of pictures and might take the time to add some to my posts on occasion.However, as I said I have no computer , so I am looking for something a total neophyte might acomplish without going to the bother of actually buying into computer ownership and the massive study such would probably entail. If a simple solution is not possible I will with no problem forget about the idea.

Thanks for the input Pat .
Sure sounds like a loooooooot of work!I thought it might be something easy and simple , like putting a heifer out to pasture with a bull and everything after that takes care of itself. Like plug in the SD card when on the website and watch a set of pictures to pick from and VOILA, done. lI will have to do some more research , and like Jack Benny in his comic skit I say " ...I'm thinking , Im thinking "..It's not that I'm a Luddite, I do have a free e-mail account and " computers "( and I use that term advisedly- they do very little actual computing ) are great pieces of office equipment, data storage devices is the accurate term. I don't mind using the products they help make better. I just never worked in an office and hesitate to sign up for any services I might decide never to use. I once signed up for an electronic banking connection to my bank account,picked a code word, the whole deal. Never used it once, have totally forgotten what the code word was .

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
