Your mom should just connect the camera, get a popup, and choose "email to my son" as the option. There is no valid technical reason why that shouldn't be happening. Each new generation of programmers adds more and more complexity in the mistaken belief that it is somehow better, meanwhile we never compact the old complexity into something more manageable. It's a never ending infinitely-awful onion architecture, that is rapidly growing out of control. The harder we labor, the worse it gets. Paul.
