[Former Fetus]

Thanks for your imput, you have given me a lot to think about, and plenty of suggestions to keep me going for the time being.

Let me ask one more question, and it will show you how computer-challenged I am. I bought some time ago an external hard drive for all the family pics, but I soon got tired to move them one at a time. Is there any way I could copy EVERYTHING into the external hard drive, before I lose the pics, and then organize and/or delete at my leisure? Thanks again for everybody's help!

You should be able to copy over the entire folder with all your pictures and just organize them whenever. It may take a bit of time depending on how large your photo folder is.Basically you can drag over entire folders to the external and it’ll work on it’s own. Hope this helps.
