Hi Tim

Today's show:

Managing your image collections

Picasa2 --- http://www.picasa.com - free

Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the 
pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically 
locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them 
into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will 
recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels 
to create new groups.

It also very simply allows you to correct things like red-eye, poor 
colour contrast, tilt angles etc. One thing I liked is that Picasa2 will 
resize images for sending as email attachments.

Misspell a word in the address bar and all sorts of things can go wrong. 
It is a common practice for those on the shadey side of the web to 
register domain names that take advantage of peoples spelling mistakes 
of well known brand names. The result is that often you will get a porn 
site which will start spawning new windows.

Don't click on any "alert panels" that may pop up - just close these 
with the close button (top right)

Use a pop up blocker. the Firefox browser comes standard with a blocker, 
for Internet explorer the google tool bar that is free from google will 
provide an excellent blocker.

Parents should visit http://www.netalert.net.au/ - govt site free call 
1800 880 176 - for advice on how to best proctect their children form
