If you have a CD burner and acces to a film scanner, it is THE way to preserve and retrieve your image files easily. The scanner automatically reverses the tonal values in your color negatives and takes into account the orange filter mask. It' a snap. I now mostly shoot in colorneg to take advantage of its larger exposure tolerance.
There is an excellent magazine pertaining to film and electronic photography, PC Photo

They really found a specialized niche and their editorial content is never too-technical nor simplistic. Try it. PP.
