Easy way to transfer tons of old photos to flash drive
DW's been organizing our old photos (500-1000 or therabouts). I was looking for semi-quick and easy way to copy photos onto flash drive. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I think Costco may provide scanning service for a fee, if there's a store near you. Not positive if all stores offer.
If you haven't bought a printer in a long time, consider buying one with scan capability. I got an HP Envy a few years ago for my computer that also works wirelessly with my iPad. I use the scanner feature a lot. Time-consuming, but scan them and save to your hard drive. Then you can use them as you would a digital photo. You can then copy to a flash drive, DVD, external hard drive, etc.
By the way, I sent 100s of slides to a company called Scan Cafe to be scanned. It took about six weeks because they literally send them to India to be scanned, but I was glad to finally get it done without having to buy a slide scanner. Happy with the system and results. They do photos too. Also I think they convert old Super 8 type movies to DVDs.
