Is there an easy way or reasonable way to transfer slides to CD? My dad
left lots of slides and quite a few of them I would like to transfer to
CD.

There are two ways to get it done. First is to buy or rent a quality slide
scanner such as the Nikon 5000 or equivalent and scan the slides yourself
into jpeg files to your computer's hard drive. A flatbed scanner isn't
going to get the job done with any level of quality. The files can then be
burned to CD or DVD. Unless you have a ****load of slides and like to do
this sort of thing, this is probably not the cost-effective or
time-effective way to do it. The other alternative is to take your slides
to a lab to have them scanned for a fee. They will scan your slides on
quality equipment (if you go to the right place) and burn them to CD or DVD
for you. If your slides need cleaned before scanning, they will do that for
a fee as well. Many photo print and processing labs will offer this
service, as well as the places that transfer video tape and film movies to
DVD. I'd hit the Yellow Pages and call a few local places to check prices
and at what resolution they will scan the slides.
