From then on simply give him your photos ( save them from your camera to his 'photos/in' folder ) and he will use the "who, what, when, and where" of your photos to provide an organized, searchable, repository. Besides linking to each photo in many ways to create folders ( byDate, byPerson, byCollection ) SAL also converts each picture to different sizes such as tiny for your calendar and medium sized for your digital photo frame or emailing.

Wishlists		Wishlists are an amazing way to simplify buying presents. Use them two ways. • Parents who have heard the statement "first you believe in Santa, then you don't believe in Santa, then you ARE Santa" really appreciate this feature.
