Ruth,

I'm too much of a wimp/tightwad to spring for a digital, too, and too lazy to
learn CADD.  My guess is that using the digital camera is about as dangerous
as the computer:  you may think it will explode, but he fact is, they're
forgiving, and you're not going to waste ANY money on film, so give it a try.
 Have the boys show you-- what more could you ask?  And it'll give them a
chance to teach their Ma something, which they should enjoy, and  you might,
too.

And most importantly, you don't blab ANY morning.
