I did buy a Powershot A1000 but I've been off at cub scout camp with one 
of my kids and haven't done much with it yet.  Since I was going to be out 
in the elements I took my old flaky Kodak along for this trip.  Next week 
I will have lots of photo-opportunities for the new Powershot.

I also haven't checked out the Cannon software yet.  The Kodak software 
did the job but it seemed to be "dumbed-down" to make it overly easy for 
the below-average consumer to upload their pictures.  I've got some other 
options for viewing and manipulating them once they are on the PC.

Thanks to everybody for their suggestions!
