For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Your best bet would be to go for a CD-RW (Compact Disc Re-Writable) drive, as they are fairly cheap (start from around �30 I think), and the blank discs can be bought in bulk at a low price. Your local computer shop should be able to install one for you, shouldn't cost any more than �50, and it will come supplied with CD burning software (which is required to transfer photos from your computer to a CD). Many pieces of software can now create discs with your pictures on which are viewable on a DVD player, on a normal CD. DVD writers are more expensive, and not really necessary if you're only storing photos. A standard CD is 650mb in size, and an average photo is likely to be around 1mb, so you can fit up to 650 photos on a disc. Hope this helps!
