I went to Walmart yesterday to get some pictures developed from my memory card. I go there a lot. My grandson wanted the pictures of his puppy and so didn't I. I did the usual touch screen here, enter this push that bla bla....
The first machine I tried, I couldn't get passed the screen where it showed you where to put your card. I gave up and moved over to the second machine. I started from the beginning once again. I got as far as where I started printing my name etc... and it stopped became blank for a moment and then said please remove your memory card. I did.
I started again, and finally got it loaded only to notice all the pictures I wanted to get printed were gone. Yes GONE. No puppy pics, no moon picture, no pictures of my nephew with his dog either....... all gone.
I kept looking and scrolling like they were going to magically appear I guess. I finall came to the conclusion I was seeing the truth...... GONE.
I pulled the card out and told the girl behind the counter that these machines were not working right. She looked at me like I had two heads. She said "you can't pull your card out because you may loose your pictures" No shit!!! I took it out cause it TOLD me to.
I am so very glad I didn't have something very important on there like wedding photos or graduation... you know a one time shot! (like the moon one)
I went back by the machines later to see if she had put a sign on them.......nope. I hope no one else lost any important photos that day.
So, this taught me that from now on, I will put the pics on a disc and bring the disc to the store. I am glad I do have the pictures I lost on my computer so I can do just that!
