Re: “How do I get them on digital”Are you asking how to convert physical pictures to digital? Or are you asking how to put scanned images onto an image host so you can get a URL to post on AtomicBobs?

For the former, there are really only two ways. Is your printer an All-In-One? If so, the Copier is also a scanner. You should be able to put an SDRAM card into it and scan your photo to the card. It's as easy as using it to copy a piece of paper. Then you put the SDRAM card in your computer or laptop like you're putting a floppy in (way back when) and copy the picture from the card to your hard drive.

If you don't have a scanner or your computer doesn't have an SDRAM card port (or wireless access to the scanner from your computer), then your only choice is to take a photo of the pictures using your smartphone. You've done that often enough and posted the photos here so I don't need to explain that. I don't know if your smartphone can do closeups. If it can't, then that method's not going to work too well. Buy a cheap digital camera (a Polaroid Snap is $60) or ask your redheaded girlfriend or her mother if she'll scan the pictures in exchange for a kiss. In fact, forget all the guidance I've given and just do that. Invite my Missus to the wedding. (Not me. I hate weddings.)

I guess you might need to know how to get an image from an SDRAM card to your computer. If that's the case, let me know and I'll walk you through it. It's kind of a pain to explain.

Finally, if you look online you can probably find someone giving away an old All-in-one with bad print heads. If you aren't printing you won't care. You'll still need to buy an SDRAM card or micro SDRAM card or get the All-in-one device connecting to your computer wirelessly. Otherwise, buy an All-In-One at Best Buy. Here's one for $72. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/canon-pixma-mg3620-wireless-all-in-one-printer-red/4291000.p?skuId=4291000 It seems like they used to be cheaper. I used to find them on sale pretty often for $40 but it's been years since I've looked at a Sunday paper.

To put images onto an image host, I recommend imgbb.com . It's straightforward. Let me know if you have any questions.
