Re: GFM headcount thus far
It's never necessary to load Zoom Browser et al. onto your machine. The only part of the installation that you might have needed on an old machine (one running Windows 98, say) would have been drivers for whatver you were using to connect the camera to the computer. It would have been possible to just install that piece, but it's a whole lot easier to install everything. With Windows XP the drivers are already built in, so just plugging the cable in is enough. But that just makes the camera look like an additional disk drive - you won't get any file renaming unless you use a file upload utility. Zoom Browser is one possibility (although I wouldn't let you load it onto my machine, personally; in my experience it doesn't play well with others), but there is a pretty good upload-and-rename interface in Photoshop Elements.
