Okay, so I'm totally clueless. Be nice.

I've got some photos. Not any negatives or anything. How do I make copies of them, put them on my puter and stuff? Non-digital media is just WIERD :)

I think being drunk with floozies is a better image than grumpy, is all :)

Develop them into negative roll. Take the negative roll, cut them down into convenient four or five pictures to a negative strip. Take the photo you want, stick it in a wing, put that in the enlarger, and make a print in a darkroom. Then once your print is made and dry, scan the bastard and it's on your computer.

If you don't know who to do any of that and can't get anyone to help you, skip the development process and take that roll of film after you're done taking your shots to a photo place and give it to them. Wait an hour. Get your photos back. Now scan them.

You can develop photos into negatives?? The vagaries of chemical photography are beyond me.

Just take it to a goddamn photo store and have it processed. Then scan them, like what the previous guy said. It's easy. No need for extra hassle man. Unless having your photos developed is too expensive...
