I have spent years adding photos to the computer and never looking at them again. Now I am organizing, backing up albums, and scanning in old slides and baby photos and storing them in albums.

Tech Stuff-no IT guy needed!
Mac is the only way to go when organizing photos. I use iPhoto to crop, edit, organize into albums, search by people, and make slideshows with music
The BEST computer I’ve ever had to organize all those photos into categories for easy searching. It’s portable and lightweight. I love how easy it is to do editing, cropping, slideshows and photobooks in seconds!

The best of the best digital frame. This is a great gift for grandma. Everyone can submit photos and she feels part of everyone’s life. And for my own house I love this idea instead of hanging 20 different family photos on the wall. It’s more persona...
