15 steps to finding my photos

We've been down at the farm in Albany for the last week and I have finally completed the prolonged and technologically advanced (well, it seemed to be) process of transferring images from Jeff's digital camera to the desktop computer. These were the steps involved:

1. Locate the correct laptop, it's the newer one so I guessed it would be in the smaller bag. I guessed right.
2. Turn on laptop and log on. This involves rememberring which finger to use for the fingerprint scanning thingo in place of a simple password, that might be forgotten, as compared to the slightly less likely event of having a finger cut off. Then try several times before the computer recognises me.
3. Find the SLR digital camera and work out how to remove SD card.
4. Find the slot for an SD card in the laptop and insert.
5. Look for Windows Explorer. Give up. Use the Start Menu instead to find the SD card contents.
6. Locate a random 128MB memory stick. Find the USB port and insert. Actually there are two. How handy!
7. Attempt to copy images from SD card to memory stick.
8. When it becomes clear that memory stick doesn't have enough memory (how annoying!) frantically search for alternative memory stick, this one with 2GB storage space.
9. Insert into aforementioned handy second USB port.
10. Copy remainder of images from SD card to 2GB stick.
11. Remove SD card and all memory sticks and shut down laptop.
12. Put laptop away so there is room on the desk to use the desktop.
13. Insert both memory sticks into the two USB ports (two again! how fortuitous!) on the desktop computer.
14. Open Windows Explorer and transfer images from each of the memory sticks in turn to the picture folder on the dard drive.
15. It is now possible to use Adobe Photoshop to tweak the images to blog-worthiness.

So let's review: 15 steps, 5 hard to remember acronyms (4 of which rhyme, oddly) and 1 slack photographer. You can see why I prefer to use the other digital camera (which connects to the desktop via one cable) can't you?
