Thanks to my wonderful Daughter, I am going to Orlando Florida on Monday to be with her at Disney World. My Daughter is a Severe Diabetic and is 11yrs old. She Asked Make A Wish Foundation to grant her a wish and they did. Her wish was to go to Disney World with her Two Dads! Me the Biological Dad and My Replacement. I could never afford to go on such a trip financially being on a fixed income (disability). I will be away from Monday the 5th to the 10th. I will be taking as many pictures as I can and will share them with you when I get back. I am trying to find a computer that has a DVD to copy my pics on from my digital camera so they wont get destroyed by some unknown forces (X-Ray) Homeland Security etc... Is there someone or someplace in the Orlando that I can copy my pics to DVD. Even with Make A Wish help. I won't have allot of funds to pays rental fees. If you know of anyone that can help me out? Thanks Friends.... I am uploading a Pic of my princess for you to enjoy! |

Carry the camera. The walk thru x-rays will not affect your camera. The Baggage X-rays will. Kinko's will do it for you too. Safe journey my friend and enjoy your time with your daughter. |

Captain tell me what you require. The shop I work at is somewhat, almost around the corner from the mouse house. I can bring in a machine from my house to work and you could stop by. Mike IAS - Where Space Is Golden! |

I am disabled and on disability myself and can hardly afford food and house payments much less anything else. I had heart and knee surgery recently and have to pay those medical bills. I will give you my support over the Internet, and pray for your family. That is the best I can do for now. Good luck. I am from District 268 in the Deneb Sector of Vilani Space. |

Tim, Dont forget to put your flash memory cards in your pocket (dont pack with your checked baggage), I havent had any issues of those going thru the Airport security. I hope you and your Daughter have a Great time in Disney World. She lucky to have a Great Dad like you. You will have a lifetime of memories. Take Care !!

I think HE is lucky to have a great daughter like her.. SHE did ask Make-A-Wish for both her Father and Step-Father to accompany her. Not many kids would have done that. Now stop that dayum crying Tim you'll get your KB all wet.. |

When in doubt, just have the flash memory in your pocket like everyone else said. Then show it to the security guard and say it is fragile electronic equipment for your digital camera that stores pictures on it, that can be erased by X-Rays. They can then hand check it for you to make sure that it isn't one of those exploding flash memory sticks or something. In fact flash memory might not even be effected by X-Rays. In addition, flash memory cards are not affected by the new, high-security X-ray machines used in airports today. I repeat Flash memory should not be effected by X-Ray machines. If you are carrying a notebook computer or digital camera they shouldn't be harmed by the x-ray machine. However, if you want to be sure, you can request a manual inspection. If you do so, you may be asked to turn them on to prove they work, so be sure you have charged batteries in them. Apple Computer reports that The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) concluded that memory devices, including audio and video tapes and floppy disks, could take 1000 million passes through the machine before any damage would be evident. High ISO regular film may be a problem, but not apparently magnetic or flash memory devices. I like that whole powerful enough to fry an egg statement though. :) I am from District 268 in the Deneb Sector of Vilani Space. |

Thanks all for the advice, My Sister works for porta-brace A company that makes professional camera bags, and I got one that's similar to a Fanny Pack but much better to carry my camera and supplies. I Planned on having it hand inspected irregardless of the X-Rays. I had wrote a longer responce my puter decided it didn't want to work that hard..... Again thanks all.... |
