Hello everybody - Newbie with a question too.

I'm a Newbe too and first post of hopefully many more to come. I shot with Pentax for many, many years with my last Pentax being a SF1. THEN along came the "digital" age and my special gal bought me a Cannon P&S. After months of her threatening me with everything under the sun (just kidding my Wife IS MY BEST FRIEND) I finally started shooting with it and the best part I liked was being able to shoot short video clips.
That led me into producing Slide Show/DVD Movies via Microsoft's "Movie Maker" Program. I REALLY got into that as well. Fast Forward 5 years and my Cannon went into the "drink" while on a canoe trip. Actually left it in the sun for 2 days and with the exception of one option...it dried out and I was able to use it another year and a half; HOWEVER...it finally failed from old age and I'm sure water logging.
I had a number of nice lenses with my SF1 so I was moving towards a K-r DSLR. Somehow I wound-up with a Cannon Rebel T3i DSLR....BTW ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHERE BEST TO TRY TO SELL-OFF MY PENTAX SF1 AND LENSES???
I JUST received the T3i yesterday along with a 18mm-55mm lens and a 55mm-250mm lens. I pulled the Owner's manual out of the box and started to read the 300+ pages. I might have to go back to school to finish it off ;-) ;-) And I can't wait to start shooting and experimenting with it!
Anyway....finally...my question:
My Dell Inspiron Lap Top is of 2007 "vintage". It is not Blue Ray/High Def. Does anyone know...IF I shoot Pix/Videos on a SDHC Card if I will encounter any downloading problems and if so is there anything I should anticipate and/or can do settings-wise to to handle any issues?
I'm "assuming" that like a Blue Ray Player it will "read" the card but it just won't be able to play at high-def.
After the camera purchase...I just can NOT afford to ALSO replace my computer in the same year. IF worse comes to worse I could use the Special Gal's Computer BUT I'd rather not.
SO SORRY I got "wordy" here...LOOKING FORWARD TO LOTS OF VISITS!

Will you plug the camera into the USB port? If so, then you probably won't run into problems...however, if you have a card reader, it may not read the SDHC chip (my PC didn't); however, for $10-$30, you can buy a USB card reader and it works great! Hope this helps you! :-D

CARD READER??? DUH!
SURE WHY NOT! I should have thought of that! Thanks so much for jarring some of the conwebs loose in me head ;-)
