Quick consumer tip

...but they are all on CDs and my current computer doesn't do CDs.  

Ah, the bane of the modern age; aren't you glad those images aren't on floppy disks?  I had the same dilemma and found a quick and relatively cheap solution: a portable USB DVD/CD drive, around twenty bucks from Amazon.  Amazing little device, considering I paid hundreds for a CD drive for one of my computers decades ago, and it just works.  Plug it in and you're in business.  The hardest thing to do is wallow through hundreds, even thousands of images; you'll learn to appreciate extra-large thumbnails.  I think the drive I have can also write to CDs and DVDs, so there is more fun to be had.

Just one mutt's opinion.
