    Default Photos onto PC

    folks,

    I have many years worth of photographs (and negatives) which I'd like to transfer to my PC and then burn onto DVD for safe storage.

    How do I do it & what do I need to buy?

    A good scanner I would think.
    Well, if I, Belisarius, the Black Prince, and you all agree on something, I really don't think there can be any further discussion.

    Yes, A good quality scanner and a DVD read write drive and some DVR-RW's is all that you will need.

    Get one that will take multiple scans in one go - it'll speed up te process enormously. I use a Canon LiDE 60. Not necessarily the best quality bu it is highly portable and draws its power through the USB cable (a must for me!). Most modern day scanners are pretty good now anyway
