Another place which does this is Fotoshop in Squirrel Hill.  A few
points about their service:

- They do it in house.  It can be faster to get photos developed to
photocd than to prints, as their photocd machine is not as busy.
(Last time I had them done they gave me same day service at their
non-rush rates.)

- It is cheaper to get images put on a photocd than it is to have
prints made.  (I think it was $7 for the first roll on a CD, and $4
for each additional roll...  You can put three rolls of film on a CD.)

- If you specifically want photos online, check out www.ofoto.com (now
a part of Kodak).
