What's up with free websites?

I want to post more than a just couple of pictures and maybe videos (on Pelican and Hoverclubofamerica) and was wondering about so-called free websites.

What's the best ones, what should I look out for?

I'm on Windows 98SE, with PC-cillin, Spybot and AdAware so something simple and fool proof may be best.

I did a Google seach and clicked "feeling lucky" and found freewebs , it's looks okay but I'm no expert.

Do you always have to pay for Geocities?

Do you always have to pay for Yahoo sites?

I like Google's Picasa for pictures. http://picasa.google.com/ You can store movies too. You can keep albums private, share with specific people or share with the public.

They have a free program for PCs. I even bought extra storage ( they give you a decent amount of space free, I forgot the amount) and backed up my entire digital photo album (5000+ pics) at full resolution.

I also use GMail and Google Documents and Calendar. Works well, IMO.

Best,

Kurt

Kach,

PLEASE upgrade you OS! Win98 of any flavour has not been supported by Microsoft for years now. If the hackers have found any new "backdoors" MS has not made a patch or fix for a long time and your operating system is not secure.

W2000 is excellent (W/ME is a POS) and if you can stand the new style interface XP is finally descent. Pls upgrade to one of these to make your computer and your data safe from hackers.
