wrong. they're fully supported, often with numerous links.

Numerous links? Not when you claim you have explained something in the
past. e.g. how should I have best sent 4GB of photographs to my sister
if not with a USB memory stick?

it's in the thread and you responded to it.

do you not remember what you wrote? if not, you have bigger problems.

I'm quite familiar with what I wrote. It's just that I can't interpret
anything you wrote as explaining how should I have best sent 4GB of
photographs to my sister if not with a USB memory stick. Since the
original thread I have asked you a number of times and, as now, you
have continued to evade.

Forgetting - for a moment - nospam's usual weaseling and inability to
provide a better way, I am curious about why you are unable to
communicate to your sister how to view the images on the USB stick.

Her brain is hardwired to make her an artist, a poet and a musician.
Machines of any kind are a mystery. Quite how mysterious she found
them I did not realise until the USB ephisode.

I think the USB stick or a DVD disk are the best way to send the
images, but you have to know if the other person has a DVD tray in the
computer to go that route.

She uses an Apple laptop of some kind. I didn't know whether or not it
had a CD/DVD drive so I opted for USB. Apart from that, I had no
CD/DVD disks available.

I know you can write a clear set of instructions on how to open and
view images from a USB stick, but I can understand if your first
effort was not clear to your sister. She didn't ask for better
instructions?

We did have several tries but in the end she reported that she had
damaged the USB memory stick and didn't want another. I didn't pursue
the matter further.

I am beginning to think there's some other underlying reason. I don't
think she wants to view the images. She's using "I can't" to mean
"I'm not interested".

I don't think so. The photographs were an archive of family
photographs going back more than a century. I'm sure she wanted to see
them. However she needed instructions before she could even plug it
in. She later claimed it wouldn't go in because she had damaged it.

Nothing wrong with that. It's her choice of what to be interested in.
