macbook - got 8000 photos on macbook and they need to go somewhere

[RiaParkinson]

Please could a clever person with patience which i lack tell me how to put my pics on some sort of external memory???

what do i need to buy?

my macbppk was never speedy but now its a snail!

do i buy an eternal memory (is there such a thing?) and which one?

thanks

Bumping for you.

You could stick them all on a cd or dvd, quick, easy and cheap.

You can buy external hard disks with huge memory capacity - I use one to back up my pc. you'd need to make sure that it's compatible for a mac though.

The best way would be to upload them to an online memory bank thing. We get a free one with our bt broadband package.

DH uses a Laci external pocket drive, and reckons it'll do the job you need. He also says it is USB powered and costs around £55.

He uses a Mac Pro, by the way, so would be compatible.

sorry ha to nip out dcs making me stir crazy!

let me look at what you kind people have said...

llareggub that might be what i am after

primark - i tried the disc thing but was taking forever

darent leave them online feels like....'in space/ iykwim

thankyou all so much for your help
