Wife has taken 400 snaps on our new digital camera and wants to transfer them to our computer. Is this wise or will it take up too much 'space'?

I have 778 photographs saved at very high resolution, this has taken up 1.57GB of hard drive space
it is wise.
You can copy then to CDs as well and store at least one copy off-site (e.g. in someone else's house) because you will be very upset when one day your hard-drive fails and you lose your photograph collection bas well as all the other stuff you have put on your PC and not backed up.
Make your wife write one thousand times:
I must back up my data

JohnD, (or anyone else who cares to answer), at the risk of being lynched, is there a difference between a CD disk and a DVD disk?

Thanks JD, must buy some Cd's then.
If your computer has a DVD-writer in it (most do built in the last few years), then think about buying blank DVDs instead. They will fit on about 6x as much data/photos than a CD (4300mb compared to 700mb).
Works out cheaper in the long run!

A double layer dvd burner? disc will hold around 8gig of photo's , they are cheap to buy and easy to install.
We store all our pictures on CDs and also keep them on a site called pbase - the site also allows our friends and family to view them.
