I find OneDrive to be fantastic. I have 2 desktops and 3 laptops that always contain the same data. I have 4 main folders on OneDrive...Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos. Nothing is kept on the usual Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos. Therefore all of my data is backed up on the cloud and all 5 of my computers. I'm retired and live in NY in the Adirondack mts in the summer and the Rio Grand Valley in the winter. We are heading north next week and when I turn on the desktop I keep there and give it a little time, all my data will be there. When I go back to Texas in the fall The same happens down there except I use a hot spot that is a lot slower. When I save a file, the cloud Icon instantly indicates that the file is being sent to the cloud. When I power on one of my laptops the same Icon (as soon as internet connection is established) indicates OneDrive is updating that laptop. I have been using it for about 2 years and it works 100%.

Although I no longer have the D7200, as I have gone mirrorless, the principle remains the same.


Thanks for that reply. I am heading back to the zoo this week and will do as you suggest. I will also pay a lot more attention to what is going on with my camera. Last week my wife and I went to the zoo and had a great day and I took bad pictures. Next week will be just me and a camera that I need to learn more about. I will start with aperture priority, ISO 100, f8 and pay attention to the shutter speed, then change things as I go. I was using auto ISO as a short cut that would enable me to not have to pay attention. It didn't work very good for me at this time in my learning.

I retired in 1998 and bought my first digital camera, a Nikon coolpix 950, in 2000. My wife and I traveled all over the USA in a motorhome and I took a lot of pictures of this great country. About 5 years ago I copied a lot of my favorites into a folder for a slide show and cropped them all to a 16x9 aspect ratio. My desktop background is a constant show of the great pictures I have of our life for the last 19 years. I have upgraded my cameras over the years. The coolpix 950 is a 2 MP camera and the cropped pictures shown on a 25" monitor look great. I went to a Nikon E5700 next and then a D60. I had a couple of Cannon shirt pocket cameras for our ventures into Mexican border towns and festivals and such where taking pictures was a secondary part of the day, but now are a reminder of the great life of being retired. I am now 71 and living the winter months in South Texas and the summer months in the Adirondack mountains of NY. Last month I gave myself a Nikon D7200 for my 71st birthday. I hardly ever print a picture, so I am looking forward to putting some keepers from my new camera into my desktop slide show and possibly printing some larger prints in canvas to hang on my walls.

I just upgraded from a D60 to a D7200. I used the D60 entirely in auto mode and promised myself I would not do that with my new camera. I have been reading UHH for a couple of years. This forum has been great. Because of this forum, I decided on the D7200 and because of this forum I bought the D7200 with an 18-140 lens from B&H instead of Walmart.com, Best Buy or Amazon. I have had the D7200 about a month and due to mostly bad weather here in South Texas, have not taken too many pictures yet. Yesterday was a great day so I went to the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville and took about 200 photos. I had watched a very good youtube video about auto ISO and decides to use mostly aperture priority and auto ISO. I was confident that all of my photos would be great. They are not great. I never thought that I was changing anything when my thumb would accidently move the command dial. I spent all day trying to figure out what was happening with my camera. A google search found this thread. Thanks. Now I get to go back to the zoo and take more pictures.

I have ACDSee Photo Studio Standard 2019. I have been using previous versions for years. It is an excellent program. Try it for 30 days for free.

If you have a Windows PC, you have Windows Media Player. First set up the options to rip to MP3. It comes set to rip to Windows Media Audio. Change it to MP3 so it will play on all car radios. Use media player to make an extensive play list ( a 16GB thumb drive will hold thousands of songs). Put a clean thumb drive in your computer. Use windows media player to sync your playlist to the thumb drive.

I was in the Army Reserve from 1969-1975. Two months ago I brought my discharge paper, DD214, to Lowes customer service. The Customer Service person entered my info into the computer and gave me a My Lowes card and told me to have it scanned for any purchase. I get a 10% military discount on every purchase at every Lowes and also on line. For years I would go to Home Depot before I would go to Lowes. I am rehabing a house and I now go to Lowes almost every day.

I've been using my Samsung Galaxy with TracFone since October, and reception has been fine everywhere I've gone. TF uses Verizon towers.


The towers that TF use depend on the phone you use. I have a Samsung Galaxy TF that uses the Verizon towers. My wife has a different phone and it doesn't work where mine does.

We live in the Adirondack Mountains of NY and they have very few towers. The ones that they do have, look like trees. I have a Samsung Verizon network extender that works great. It is a device that plugs into our router and becomes a small Verizon tower. There is no need for a tower anywhere near you. It costs $250 at any Verizon store but they will not sell it to you without a Verizon account. I bought ours for $100 on Craigslist. Just plug it into your router, place the GPS receiver near a window and you have a mini cell tower in your house.

I had a Windows 7 home desktop, a windows 8 home desktop, a Windows 8 home laptop, a Windows 7 32 bit netbook, a windows 8 tablet and a Windows 8 professional laptop. All have been upgraded to Windows 10. No issues with the upgrade and no issues with any computers since.

It has mass but it has negative weight. Mass refers to the amount of matter. Weight is the amount of force experienced by an object due to gravity. I looked it up on Wikipedia so it must be true.
