I bought a Road-Stor unit.  I transfer ALL my digital photos to CD.
 I can then downsize to my hearts content and transfer the ones I want 
 to my laptop if I desire.

 The Road-Stor unit costs about $350.00 or so when I bought mine.  I'm sure
 they probably cost less than that now.   

 Anyway, this is what I suggest.


 Good luck,


                                             Jim
