could be. i guess it takes up a lot of memory. you daughter should be able to tell you what is left. i've got thousands of pics that i should probably get rid of some of them.

Take this information from a computer "geek" - put your photos on an external drive.
When computers reach about 90% of their onboarad "available" memory/storage capacity, they slow to a crawl. Hard drives nowadays are relatively cheap and can be found in many different shapes and sizes. I have a 160 gigabit drive that I bought a few years back. Cost me about $125 back then -- and what you can get 500 gigabit or more today.
Most pictures today run 300 - 400 kilobits to a couple of megabits, depending on the camera's capacity. A gigabit is 1000 megabits (for those non-techies) and these newer drives hold 500 gigabits or more.
Now that's a lot of pictures.

my pics and my music are stored on some box that has like a triggy diggy bites of memory, a whole lot anyway.

i went out this midday to do the camera check thing. trying to beat earl. pretty much got nothing but a good walk in. tons of acorns this year, again. looks like a pretty good beechnut crop as well. food will be scattered all over the place and so will be the deer. which means my stands scattered all over with cameras to keep and eye on things while i'm not there.

I just got back from switching video cards myself.I haven't looked at the videos yet but the camera said there were 17 videos on it.That's down from 30 videos from the last time during the same amount of time as this time.4 days.I'm going to check them out now.By the way,they were harvesting the corn when I got there.I talked to the guy on the combine and he said he saw a 10 point last night.He said it just stood there and looked at him for the longest time.
