Hi Carolyn; First, Make sure that memory cards are available. Second, contact the computer manufacturer about upgrading your hard drive. They actually may sell you a hard drive and send the download discs specific to your computer. Hewlitt Pacard sold me a 560 gig hard drive with download discs for my compaq for a very reasonable price. As for monitors, I've found that my 19 inch flat panel works wonders. Monitors are available up to as large as the biggest High Def televisions. Yes, most of the new hi=def tv's have the svga input for your computer. Have fun and keep shooting,

Thanks Mark. I have a Dell. My husband is going to give them a call. I have also considered storing my photos on a flashdrive. Anyone have experience with that?

I have an external 320 gig hard drive that I use for storage/ I also back mine up on photo cd. My external is available at Wal-Mart for about 150.00. It's well worth the money. I'm glad to help. Have fun and keep shooting, BTW, egghead.com may have your memory cards for less. That's where I got mine.
