cert, sorry about all your troubles.............hope everything is back to "normal" by now.......or as normal as it gets, if your life is anything like mine!
AngusCattleShower, I have an older scanner-copier-printer that I'd be willing to part with, it's very easy to use......just not as fancy as the new one I got for Christmas last year.

About resizing photos........I have the ACDSee5 on my computer, and it's so easy! If you don't have it, you should look into getting it. Sure makes resizing a snap! Other than that, I have no idea. Sure one of the computer gurus around can shed some light on that, though.
