In that case, US prices for cameras probably aren't applicable either. I'd still expect a good PC to be available for less than the price of a DS. On Fri, Apr 07, 2006 at 02:16:31AM -0700, Shel Belinkoff wrote: > If I'm not mistaken, the original poster is located in Brazil, so US prices > for co

If you do go the card reader route, try to find a relatively slow one. That will have a better chance of working with Win 98SE. I don't know if any will work with non-SE versions. Butch

PS 7.0 is workable on 98SE ... I ran it, but with only one hard disk and not a lot of memory, it ran poorly with large files. TIFF, PSD, as well as JPEG were able to be run, but with an istDS, the only file format that can be used would be JPEG. Shel > [Original Message] > From: mike wilson

Just to be sure, I double-checked the requirements for using the istDS, and it seems that you need newer software than Win98. Like it or not, it may be time to upgrade your computer. You'll get used to the menus. For the most part, once you've set the menu options, you can use the camera by just
