> Brian, I think the LUG Gallery works just fine. And as someone who has been on this list for 20 years or so, I can only express my gratitude to you. Thanks to you, I have met many people whom I would otherwise not have met, and many of them have become my friends in the offline life. Even close friends in some cases.

About 9 years ago, Google hired its chief developer away from the Gallery project and put him to work on Picasa. Neither Gallery 2 nor Gallery 3 has changed much since. I think of the Gallery software as being a bit like my IIIf--it takes some TLC to use it at all, but they are still making film for it. The 90/f4 Elmar LTM is still my favorite lens of all time.

There are several tabs on the "add items" page, and I might be able to get more of them to work. I've never used any but the first tab.
