How do you transfer pictures from one computer to another?

If the laptop has a CD writer, you can write the picture files to a CD and then load the CD into the desktop PC and transfer the files to the hard drive. If you can't write a CD with the laptop, you might email (send) the files to yourself and then read the email and download the files with the desktop. Also, Yahoo (and other sites) offer some free storage so that you could upload files from the laptop and download them to the desktop using your web browser. Does this help?
