FWIW, my Nikon "CoolPix" L1 doesn't work like that, but the Olympus
does.  I take the SD card out of the Nikon and put it in an adaptor.

I use my PowerMac to read things in too, but only to get them onto the
FreeBSD box.  All these mouse-pushing programs are too much work.

I'll put up some pages about how I do my photos when I have finished
the work I'm currently doing.  Basically,

- I copy the JPEGs into a directory hierarchy named after the day.
  Today's photos (rotten fruit :-) are in ~/Photos/20080219.

- I then process them with some custom scripts, Makefiles and
  ImageMagick to produce three different sets of photos in the web
  site hierarchy (today in ~/public_html/Photos/20080219).  The sets
  go in the subdirectories big, small and tiny.  big is the original
  size (which I keep at the highest resolution the cameras will do, 10
  or 6 MP).  small is set to a width (or height for portrail) of 600
  pixels, and tiny to 300, independently of the size of the original
  photo.

- I use a set of PHP scripts to display them and navigate between the
  sizes.  I'm still working on that.
