photos & other media
Once again, here at the m@trix,
we have tried to anticipate the needs of our visitors... whether they are here on holiday or business.
We've therefore provided options for visitors to backup their digital photos to CD, DVD or their USB drive, or to upload them to the web, so their friends & family can follow their travels...
In addition, we've included options to edit and touch-up the photos first... as well as catering for those visitors who want to modify their mp3 music collection for the beach.
