I work with a couple of people that are completely NOT
PC saavy. Amazon has a decent deal - HP Photosmart 5mp
digicam w/ Photosmart Printer for $99.00 after rebate.
Perfect for folks that dont want to use a computer,
however I suggested to them that printing on that
little photosmart would be expensive. They are better
off going to a Walmart to get prints.
