Nearly all photo shops will do this for you, if they know what's good for them. OR, you could check copy shops, OR internet cafes (they may offer CD burning at a slight charge).
And getting online, again, the internet cafes. They're not CHEAP, but they're not particularly EXPENSIVE, either. Or public libraries. Though you would probably have to get a membership there, and you might have difficulty getting to a computer if they're busy. But it might be worth looking.

Yeah, I think that may be a better idea than buying a cheap laptop. A laptop is definitely something I would start saving for, especially with your digital photography (I always take mine so I can dump my CF cards and do some prelimenary tinkering with the images), but running out and grabbing a cheap one probably isnt the best idea in the world. I havent had anything but problems with cheap laptops.
Once you get one though, I highly suggest an external 2.5" USB hard-drive. It allows you to easily expand your storage, and lets you have some redundancy too (copy the RAW files to both the laptop internal drive and the external drive). Redundancy is a good thing--always have at least two copies of the RAW files, stored in seperate locations (one on a CD, one on a hard drive, for example). I lost some images from a vacation I took a few years ago when the CDs they were on crapped out on me.
