That is not a dumb question.
You see, my camera, being it is digital, has a
flash card .
After I take the pictures, I can take the little
card out,
put it in a device that is attached to a USB cord, then,
I plug the USB cord into a slot on my computer, instructions then come up
asking how I want to download, etc. It really is super easy, believe me.
Hi Susie,
I'm a pretty fast learner most of the time, but
I was forced into dumb

mode, re anything puter related. -
See,
in the 80's I was excited to learn about them puters, as
one of my ambitions was owning a
robot 
that would
give me the daily-GOOD news, serve me meals, do the housework,
go exercise with me, & do the taxes, lol - just those few things, mind you.
So,
I enrolled in a computer-class, because
IF someone didn't hurry-up & build this critter, I was gonna do it myself

Alas,
unbeknownst to us students at that time, teacher was
a child-molester

; so to make sure
we didn't accidentally discover that, he issued
Warning...
NEVER!, ever touch the keys except for what I tell you,
'cause if you hit 1 wrong key, computer will break & it will
never!! work again"
We didn't know any better, we were
freaked-out, so he won! -
Well, my daughter was already helping me on the computer at only age 3;
as I sat there hyperventilating...in my
computer-panic.
With endless re-assurances, that Experimenting with computers was mostly safe
little by little Child-curiosity led me into trying this & that, but still I lag far behind

other's computer skills.

So with this little background, Feel FREE helping me learn more...

1. How is a Digital-camera, like a Camcorder?
&
2. How does the film in either, get developed?
&
3. Now for the Fun-part: once I figured-out our Camcorder,
I could set it
on the barrier-edge at the rink, &
(after got over the shock of how my skating now looks),
considering I cont. learning to Awaken kinesthetically, plus
looking out thru our own eyes only, makes for a different ice-experience
I know from other skaters, that studying their own replays helps improve

moves...
So, I have given this Camcorder-experiment... lots of thought.
Got any suggestions, Susie?
