Suggestion:  buy a card reader to use to download pix to your computer, you should be able to find one in any store that sells cameras &amp; they cost less than $10 (in the US, anyway).  You just have to put your memory card in it &amp; put it in a USB port, and...............pictures!  I use one all the time to download pix, it is less bother than finding that stupid cord.  Glad you progressing toward Florence.
