I got a digital camera a few years ago. Before that I had a nice 35mm camera and took a few pictures when the mood hit me. But since the digital came along, pictures now piled up on the computer. Thousands of pictures.<\/p>\n

I made a nice screen saver of all the pictures of the dogcats. Occasionally converted them to web site use.<\/p>\n

But the pile…<\/p>\n

I decided the time had come to actually have pictures in my hands<\/em> that I could share at with friends at work, at parties, in the car and around town. Trade with firends and collect all 12!<\/p>\n

What I discovered was that the folks at Walgreens<\/a> had made it darned easy to upload all the pictures I wanted, share with friends and click on a few and tell them to be magically transferred to paper at the Walgreens of my choosing in a jiffy.<\/p>\n

Screw Flickr<\/a> and and all those other sites. Can they print any picture I want down the street in a few minutes? No. Well, maybe. I have not checked recently.<\/p>\n

But this works great, even if you are on vacation. Upload from the laptop and figure out the closest Walgreens.<\/p>\n
