[Healeys] Computer Question

[Mr. Bill]

Hi Patrick,

I totally agree with Earl.  If SWMBO can fill up a card that quickly, 
the resolution is way too high.  Mine is set even lower than Earl's 
because I get about 5000 images on a two gig card.  Yet the resolution 
is fine for printing 3 X 5 glossy pics.

Buy a couple of more cards and if she can use up 15,000 pics, please 
send me my tickets and I shall be happy to be your professional 
photographer. :-)
