By the way, when you say it would save 1.6 gb memory, you are talking apples and oranges, Storage is not the same as memory. Think of it this way -- if the files disappear when you turn the computer off, that is memory. If the files remain on your computer, that is storage.

I know I should buy a new computer(desktop) since I am using my older XP. I have 1.6 GB's of pictures on my computer. Wondering if I bought an external hard drive( or a flash drive) would it make sense to store all my pictures on it and would it free up 1.6 GB of memory??Thanks, John ____________________________________________________________ Never Eat This Carb Literally Never! 1 Easy Tip to Increase Fat Burning, Lower Blood Sugar http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/5320ecb0516646cb06758st04vuc ******************** Gen-Newbie's website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~newbie/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GEN-NEWBIE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
