I'm not familiar with that camera but it should have come with a USB cable or micro sd card. The USB cable would be easy since you just plug the small end onto to your camera and the large end into a USB slot on your computer. Your computer should detect the "hardware" click on the option to view and transfer files. It should walk you through it from there. If it's an sd or micro sd card, your computer or printer will must have a slot for sd cards. You may need an adapter to put the sd card into, then into the computer or printer. If you don't have the users manual you can go online and download a copy and it will tell you what you need to transfer the files. It's safer than guessing! Let us know what if that helps. :)
I think that's a yes. I have a Skype account on my home compute and a separate one on my Android phone (The HTC Amaze) which is a cool phone. Just sign up again.
Rome is almost a day ahead of us. For example, if it's 4:57 pm in California, it's on 1:57 am in Rome. So you would leave California and pretty much arrive the same date :)
You probably meant "Who is your favorite author"? I like Gregg Braden who talks sense into all the people who are worried about the wold ending in 2012. He's a scientist who discovered cycles and patterns in every day life and history. Knowing these patterns and changing them can prevent wars and mass hysteria. Check out his books.
