The problem started with your e-mail provider - talk to them. Try entering UHH in your address book, especially if your using one provided by your e-mail provider. They may be looking at UHH as spam. Other than that, move to another service.

Look at Hughesnet - Satelite internet, plans start at $50 per month. I'm on fiber, my wife works at home and I run my business from home so we are intense users. Our cost is $70 per month for business speed. Years ago I use to cycle backups to my bank safe deposit box. A real pain. We have been backing up online for years with no problems.

I specifically stated European Theater. Italy was in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. There were 4 - the other two were Pacific and China, Burma, India.

I did some research. Nothing on American warbird sites. Wikipedia provided the answer. There is a picture of this aircraft as a "survivor". It Mitchel III & belongs to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. The AAF did not operate the B-25 in the European Theatre. 900 were furnished to the Britan and Canada.

Mitchell B-25 in British markings. White wing & fuselage markings were painted on for D-Day to aid in identification friend or foe and avoid friendly fire. Probably belongs to a "flying" vintage aircraft organization and on the way to an air show.

All of the previous. When you installed Picasa it asked if you wanted to make it your "default" viewer. Go back to Windows as your "default" viewer.

Really enjoy your pics & history. In #1 the term "balls to wall" originated from a steam engine running at top speed with the governor balls spinning just about straight out. Today: anything or person working fast.

Get your own facebook page & post your stuff there. I resisted facebook for years, until I realized that was how our kids communicated. If my wife & I wanted to know what was going on with them and the grandkids we had to get on. We post a lot of stuff together. Our friends list has grown quite large. Smart phones just make it so darn easy to post or message pics - no wifi required. AND, the newer ones take some darn nice pictures.

I use Carbonite and had a crash. Everything came back just fine. It took about 12 hrs overnight to download. I have heard many radio ads for Idrive (idrive.com) and took a look at their site. A personal account is $70 on sale for $52 for the first year for 1TB. They also offer a service were they express you a hard drive for backup then return to them. Backup in incremental from there. The same service can be used for a crash. You avoid the long download times. They also offer back up for all your other devices, even your Facebook page.

Wow - thanks for your input. You are reading me like a book - yes I'm looking at a full frame. Glass is a question I am looking at. A bit of history here. I did not come cold to photography. My dad was was prolific in recording his life and our family. He had 35mm in the '30's he carried through WWII (Lieca or Argus). For the most part he shot Ektachrome slides which are still in very good condition. Never shot in combat, but in the quiet times & after. He went ashore in the second wave on Omaha Beach. His camera, uniform & other items of his time in service have been donated to the D Day museum in New Orleans. Looking at his stuff my dad really new knew how to frame a shot and in distant way I learned from that.
My dad was always looking forward. The first Polaroid, he had one, the first color - that too. Kodak came out with that large slide / technacolor camera - he had one. I have lots of those slides, but darn they really faded. The family archives are large and big mix of slides & prints to 8 x 11.
My first priority is a camera. Second (in time) is a scanner and software to save my archives. From my time in film I have saved prints and just about all the negatives.
Seems to me that Nikon & Cannon rule the day with Sony bringing up the tail. Very little mentioned about Olympus or others. Market share?

I've been looking at UHH for several months and have been impressed! I still have my Olympus OM 1n with 28mm, 55mm and 60-300 Kalimar. I used it for years for both work / personal and shot hundreds of rolls of film. Landscape enlargements up to 24 x 30 hang around my house. My favorites are from Bryce Canyon, Utah. I grew up in Massachusetts and worked there til 1991 and now live in Duluth, GA.
With the rise of digital the film camera has not been used in years. I have been through various point & shoot cameras, but with the rise of smart phones, I don't use a P & S very much.
Bottom line, I am ready to get a DSLR and get back to better more versatile photography. The comments, advice and links have been very helpful, BUT - "decisions, decisions !!" :).
