Java is supposedly platform independent and does everything and is a 10MB 
download, and it lets people write photo transfer code that can be used on 
all platforms (linux and Windows, maybe not DOS), but it is not something 
you can carry around with you on a floppy disk in order to share your 
photos with friends.

We will suggest the purchase of a used SD card reader for $3.

We took home the broken Windows computer, so I can copy over the Opera 
preferences file (what is it called?) to a linux Opera in BL3.4 installed 
to a loop partition or a second drive, to be used with the ltmodem if 
possible, and glibc 2.2.5 so and kernel 2.4.31 with USB mass storage 
support.

Also with libc5 or glibc netpbm and scripts to mount the card reader and 
transfer photos, shrink, view with xli, and copy them to floppy disk.

The owner of the computer still thinks his monitor is the 'computer' and 
tried to plug the phone line into it.
