Well, to do that I have to move three tables.  Then, I have to pull 
the PC out into the middle of the room so that I can remove the mouse 
and then plug in the cable from the camera.  Then after downloading 
the images I have to put everything back again.

That's not easy to do.

What I'm doing just now is that I'm downloading to my laptop and then 
moving the pictures over on a floppy disk.  This is time consuming 
and I'd rather that I didn't do it that way.
