Paul,
I was terrible at posting pics too. TERRIBLE!
But, Theres 2 little ports at the bottom of my PC, in front,and I plug my camera into one.
Then a thing pops up asking what I want to do,,and (I made a shortcut on my desktop) I just make it put my pics in that shortcut tab.
the video link that kyle gave you is a must, as I tried and failed alot of times at posting pics here, but after watching that tutorial, its pretty dang easy actually.
Try it, once you get down, you can show us your new Pete ! I want to see it too.
