Hi,I have a question,my sister just bought a digital camera and I know you need a USB port to uploaded your pics from the camera. She has and older Gateway with no USB Ports,is there a way she can upload them without a USB port. Adapter or something...

If she's running Windows 98SE or later, a USB card, installed in a PCI slot, is the solution. Here's one: SYBA PCI USB 2.0 4+1 shared port controller card Model SD-VIA-5U - Retail. This card provides 4 USB ports on back of the computer. If she wants to be able to connect from the front, a USB extension cable solves that problem.
