Except that Hotmail accounts don't let you send very large attachments so
lots of emails will be required if using Hotmail.
Better get an account with a larger capacity.

Yahoo has a free six megs and you can access pop email on it, something
Hotmail stopped in its freebee site some time ago.

Computers can only be used in Australia after the weekly koala races, to
avoid internet gambling.

It's not so much koala racing as koala ambling, stopping for a scratch
and a widdle and then ambling back in the direction they came from.

for $20 USD per month you can greatly increase that capacity ... it is 2 MB
free and you can send a lot of 640x480 pics in 2 MB and then errase them
from Sent folder to free up the space for the next send, etc.

No offense, but in this day and age 640x480 is not an acceptable
resolution and 2MB is not "a lot of pics", considering that cameras
come with El Cheapo cards of 8MB and more. Perhaps you missed that the
OP's daugther clearly needs to *offload* pictures from her card(s), so
reducing the resolution is (probably) not an acceptable solution:

OP My daughter will be travelling north of Brisbane and will not have
OP access to a computer. Are there places where she can send her
OP digital pictures home or burn them onto cd's?

Ignore the others, it is just that quirky Australian sense of humour,
even if they aren't all Australian!

95% of photo developping shops will also give a CD at the same time
for only a Pacific Peso or so more than the straight developping
charge. Armed with the CD, she should be able to access any public
access internet terminal and email the pictures home that way.

Lots of good camera shops have a CD burning service where you can download
your digital pictures direct from your camera.
Do that and Dave's reply isn't so dumb after all.

Stop picking on me - I had been out on hazard reduction duties for 27
continuous hours and had just got home when I read the original post
and replied to it.

Or (rock) spiders looking for people, perhaps.....?
