Can anyone give a little insight on what is involved as far as a computer program to make a moving avatar? Is this something a novice can tackle with a little tinkering, or do you really have to be a computer guru to master it? Any recommendation on what to buy if a program is required?

Also, some time ago I had downloaded a trial version of ACDSee v.5.0, which is an image importer system. I used it quite a bit to get some images on to MercedesShop from an MB disc I have. After it expired, it has everything really fouled up, having a hard time (yes, I tried add/remove programs). I liked it when it worked, so I am considering buying this program, unless someone can recommend something as good for less money, last time I saw it (I think at CompUSA) it was 50 or 60 bucks.

Anyone aware of any super deals on a digital camera?

All the above questions relate to trying to get a Christmas list together. The only part I really hate about the holidays is figuring out what I want for Christmas!
