Get yourself a personal website, upload them to the site and download them
to the new machine.

What brand is it Lisa?

I ask because let's say for instance that it's a Sandisk which is the most
common brand, and going to their website
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1064)-SanDisk_Cruzer_Mini_USB_Flash_Driv
e.aspx
..you can see all that they have, and yes by clicking on the More Info tab
in any of them, it does only say that it supports Windows 2000, ME, XP
...however that's not the whole story since it does support W98 as you can
see they offer a separate drivers download for it there too:
http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1093

Also many times you can use generic W98 drivers for other brands of usb
drives and they will work, but we would need to know which brand and model
number you have to research it online ...or you could :)

If by some chance yours truly is not able to be drivered, then an
alternative is to use one of your friends usb stick that does support W98

A more cumbersome alternative is to upload you files to many of the free
sites that host files (or even your own website if you are willing to learn
and maintain one) ..and upload it or send it to yourself, and then
download it on the machine of your choice, but of course it's all limited
by what you have for an  Internet connection because if you have only 56k
dialup then forget it as it would take forever, but if you have cable then
depending on your tier of bandwidth relates to how fast you can do
this.  Anyway, if you don't want to get your own website then here's a link
for a free service that's very very very simple to send large files to
other people (or even yourself) is this one:  http://www.dropload.com/
..there are many different sites, but this particular one is a very good
one to use, for Free even!  ..and I have occasionally used it before
myself.

Also beside these mini usb flash drives and pens etc, there are plenty of
usb 'portable hard drives' that do support Win9x and so here again if one
of your friends has one, or you can even buy a 40 GB one these days for a
$29 sale - and it's not lost on using it just for Win9x and your pictures
this one time, but going forward then using it on yours or your friends W2K
or WXP machine to transfer files whenever, gives you that forever
convenience,

....in other words, if there is a will there is a way to do it.... heck,
funning a bit is that you can always use a 1.44 MB floppy drive and make
1000 separate transfers in a split file scenario ...ridiculously
prohibitively time consuming yes, but nevertheless is possible.

Can you network the two machines together.  If so, you could
either copy, reasonably fast, or just leave the photos on the
old machine and share them with the new machine.

Get a new free YAHOO email address.

Set the XP machine email account up
to receive email using that address.

Use your current email account to email the photos
to your new YAHOO email address.

Then read the emails on the XP machine
using the YAHOO account and save the attachments.

OR

Remove the hard drive from the 98 machine,
and install it temporarily as a slave on the XP machine.

Then transfer stuff until your heart is content......

OR

IF - BIG IF - the burner software is 98-compatible,
borrow the burner from the XP machine,
install it on the 98 machine, and let it rip.......

OR

Do what Gary said.  It's a good idea.

Perhaps using

http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc//home

If you have both machines at the same time, network them.

If the 98 machine is being replaced by (or upgraded to) the XP machine, then beg
or borrow someone's laptop and network transfer 98->laptop and then laptop->XP

Surely you have friends.

Expensive best way:
PCI ide card and hard drive connected to it, in win98 machine.  Copy files
to that hard drive.  Move ide card and connected hard drive to new machine.
You need an open PCI slot in both machines, and place to mount the hard
drive in both machines, and possibly a pigtail for power.

Less expensive best way:
Lan connect both PCs.  Share the hard drive of the 98 machine with the new
machine.  Copy files to new machine.

Alternative way:
Update to 98SE, then use a USB thumb/flash drive that supports 98SE.  I use
a Sandisk version.
