???

Um, I don't know the difference. Neither does SU. Anyone care to explain?

(btw, I've been out of touch with "J/L reality." Been so busy at work, I post a few times a day...and today I wanted to work on montage, which takes forever. *sigh*

and BIL is coming for the weekend....

Anyway, thanks for explaining the difference. Will check back.

Here's my take on it. If you're putting something onto your computer, say, putting a picture into Shutterfly, or your digital pics to your hard drive I call that uploading. When you take something from one place on the computer and put it someplace else on the computer, I call that downloading. Like taking a a post from here and saving it to a file folder... download. Or something found on google and saved on your hard drive... download.

Clear as mud? :-\

Yeah, it just describes the flow of data. In short, uploading moves information from your computer to the Internet and downloading goes from the Internet to your computer...roughly speaking of course.

That's it, Nick. Perfect explanation.

[zoesmom]
