It's affecting all of us.  Gas is approaching $4.00 per gallon, interest rates are up, dollars are tight.

What's the point?  The point is that we are all watching our expenses.  At In a Flash, we realize this - and we would just like to point out the following:

A $5.00 latte or espresso in the morning lasts 10 minutes but 16 digital prints last a lifetime...

A $6.00 pack of cigarettes lasts 1/2 day (and is really bad for you), but an 8x10 enlargement lasts a lifetime...&l ...

Well, it's finally here - at least most of it.

We've launched a "new and improved" www.inaflashdigital.com - the new design will help us get information to you faster and easier than ever.

Have you noticed that memory cards are getting bigger and bigger, with such high capacities that you now find yourself with hundreds, and sometimes THOUSANDS of pictures on a single memory card?

To some photographers, this is a wonderful thing - to me, it's an accident waiting to happen.  Regardless of what the marketing folks will tell you, memory cards are electronic devices and are prone to failure.  No, they don't fail every day, but eventually (since today is St. Patrick's day) Murphy's law will some come into play.  Things don't fail when it's a convenient time.  Nope, they fail at the worst possible times, and memory cards are no different.

Does it seem like a waste to burn a new CD every time your bring yor photos to In a Flash to print them?  Well, we think so too!

A much faster and simpler solution is the use of a flash drive, which can be found at many places that carry digital memory, including right here at In a Flash!

What is a flash drive (or USB stick)?  Simply stated, it's a small USB device that plugs directly into a USB port on your computer.  Once plugged it, it shows up as just another drive/folder on your computer, allowing you to easily copy your photos to it and bring them to us for use in our kiosks.

Why should you use a flash drive?  Flash drives are easier to use and faster to copy photos to than an CD - and there's NO WASTE!  When you're done printing your photos here at In a Flash, you simply delete the files that are on your flash drive and it's ready to go for your next visit.
