Help me!

So, since I got my new camera, I've been taking tons more pictures. For practice, you know. Anyway, in about January of this year I had a friend whose mom works with computers from her home clean off my hard drive and then reload only what was necessary back onto the computer. I bought a portable hard drive and left the other info there. The reason I did this was because my computer was running extrememly slow.

Here I am in October of the same year with the same problem I had in January. That's a little quick for turn around for my tatstes! I must say my computer is about 5-6 years old. I probably need a new one. UGH!!

But my question is, how do you all store your pictures? How many back ups do you have?? Do you print them all?? I think pictures and an older computer are the crux of my problems.

That said, if I can manage to start saving money for a computer, do any of you have suggestions about things you love, or not, on your computer, or what you would really like to have, but like me are saving for??? Apple or Dell? Laptop or Desktop?

I could use some serious help here....

Okay...
so when we first got our digital camera, we were running into the same problem. We got an external hard drive, and store our pictures there.
We also back them all up on DVD's (because they hold more than CD's).
One feature I really like in our photo storage/labelling/viewing system is that we have an Apple computer and therefore have iphoto...which I personally love!

we have had our Dell PC for about 2 years. I have lots & lots of pictures from my Kodak Easyshare on there & lots of room to go for memory. I don't back up. Is that bad? I guess I never thought about it till I read your post. But I have been very happy w/ the Dell computer.
Have you had your checkup for Casey's leg???
