OK, I know how ridiculous this sounds, but I don't have a clue about scanning -- I feel like I'd better get some pictures up or I won't have any credibility here

, but I only very recently got a digital camera, so a lot of my pictures would need to be scanned -- I have a laptop, and I don't have a clue what to buy -- I've heard of "flatbed" scanners -- is that what I need, and then plug it into the laptop, or??? (I'm such a dinosaur, I probably have something built into the laptop, but it was from Home Shopping & didn't come with a manual (lesson, I know, big time...) If anyone can guide me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate your taking the time..thanks!
(it's okay, you can laugh at the dinosaur)
