Hello, Bird. I am sorry about the the loss of your grand mother, and I hope that you will bounce back to posting tools on here soon. Getting going again on ebay is a chore in itself, so I wish you only the best, high bids, and many of them!!!!! Regards, Lou

WOW!  It's so nice of all of you to send me love, good wishes, happy hunting, ect.
Papaw, this is your worst night mare..... I have a semi new computer that I stole from my dad's shop (teach him to go on vacation without me.... they locked the doors, but I can still get into the garage.... hence the den where the 'good computer' lives) and now I'm at a complete loss for photos again. I don't think you can save me from this one! I take the pictures, put that little chip thing into the computer... and the pictures dissapear. Maybe Santa will bless me with some computer knowledge???? UGHHHHHh
I love you all very much and hope that you are all doing well.
    Aghhhh, the sweet humming sound of an air compressor with a slow leak... scares the shit out of me sometimes... tends to shake the upstairs now and again... probably just my imagination.
love you all and merry christmas / holiday / or whatever that it is you do to celebrate life.
cheers

"chip thing"?   You mean and SD card or a micro-SD card?   If that  computer has a slot for them and it's running windows of some variety, you should be able to open up (file) explorer and see that device added to the "drive list" in the left column.   At that point you should be able to just "open" it and see your pictures.

I agree with p_toad.

Yay!  Bird's eBay store is open for business again!  What a great start to the day, to see that.

Well?   Any luck on getting to your pictures?   Curious minds want to see.

So, now I have an actual new computer, thanks to pops. He said if he had to get one more 3 in the morning email from me cussing out a computer he was going to go nuts. So, I do have a new computer now. I think it's been that long since I've talked to you folks. I think I can put that chip into the computer now and get my pictures. I'm annoyed because I can't figure out how to "name"' each set of pictures. It all just comes up as 1100, 1101, ect.  I haven't found a way to rename each round of pictures (the chip thing that I put in ) ... it all comes up in numbers. So, I have to keep notes on what the number is of the latest picture. I know, I'm completely ignorant when it comes to computers. I also finally bought a new "tablet" .  I can get the internet at Annes, dads, and anywhere but my house. I can't get it to recognize my router .  It recognizes everyone else's internet... put in the password, get the internet. But, it won't recognize any password that I can put in ... every number / letters on the back of the modem. UGHHHHHH   I liked writing letters to get in touch with someone much better then this.

Bird,
I have a free program called FileRenamer which will let me take a series of pictures and name them anything i want...   if it's a series and i want to just increment the number etc, i can do that...   so 1000, 1001, etc., can become  plane001, plane002, plane003, etc.

If you save the files to your desktop in the original folders, you can then rename each file by right clicking on it and a drop down gives you options. One of them is "rename". Be sure to press enter after you rename a file.

Not sure but maybe you want to group your photos into files.  Then just right click and rename each file.  I think I would go nuts if i had to name each photo.
You can name the file for tool type or date them - or name and date.
Hope this helps.
