yes you can use a usb thumb drive or you can upload them to an online storage facility then move them from there to the other netbook if you want them there. Or if you have a stand alone cd/dvd usb unit you can use that. some netbooks have a slot for a memory card also if you have the pictures on a memory card in your camera you can use that to move them and you can also use a memory card just like you would a usb drive, insert it in your pc (or a card reader that is plugged into the usb port) move the pictures to it then insert the memory card into your netbook memory card slot and upload them off of the card. I have a net book also and have never missed the cd/dvd drive at all. I much prefer to use the other options mentioned.

Have an organized hierarchy of folders just for your photos. You will have to decide where you want them and make the folders. When you plug in your camera, I have to use a card reader, but many models that isn't needed, your computer will ding when it has recognized the camera as new hardware. Go to Windows Explorer (obviously if you are on another platform this won't work), and navigate to the new drive assigned to your camera, it will be under all your C:\ files somewhere showing as F, G, depending on what else is on your system. They may be in a series of folders on in just one folder, depends on the flash card. It might be a folder called DCIM, then when you open that or click on the plus beside it, it shows something about your camera name. Open the camera folder(s) (one at a time if there are more than one), and you should see thumbnails of your photos start to be generated. When all the thumbnails show, do an edit>select all. Then do an edit>copy to folder and navigate to the folder you want to put them in. Then click ok or some prompt. Windows will show your photos being copied unless there are just a few in which case it will go very fast. If you don't want to copy all the photos, select individual ones by holding down the ctrl key after highlighting the first one and select those you want. Don't let up the ctrl key until you've selected all the photos you want. If you want a block of files but not all of them in the folder, highlight the first one you want, hold down the shift key and highlight the last one. That will select every photo in that series. Copy to the folder you want as before. If you want all but the first several or so, highlight all of them, then do an edit>inverse selection and it will automatically select all the ones you didn't highlight. These are just little tricks to make things speedier once you get used to it. That's all there is to it. It gets to be second nature. Be sure to back up all your photos at least one place, preferably two, like an external portable hard drive, dvd, cd or something, and don't alter the originals in any way. If you edit them in Photoshop, save them in a new folder. It's good to open your photo, duplicate it, close the original. That way you can't accidentally overwrite your original unless you try very hard. The copy gives it the same name with copy # added. I have a Work File for each month where I keep photos I've worked on in Photoshop, sometimes a subfolder for a special event. Maybe Picasa requires you to use your desktop which is clumsy and dumbed-down way to archive your photos imo.

t-shirt transfers would be easy to do, but they don't hold up well with a lot of washing. They tend to be stiff, then get brittle and crack. Even with the direct printing, you need to make sure the fabric is properly prepped and treated so that the printing doesn't fade after washing. I use BubbleJet setting product when I print my labels through my home printer. You treat the fabric prior to printing, let it dry, print, then wash again with mild detergent and heat press. I have had luck here, but if I forget a step, the color washes right out! Good luck

I have made several memory quilts using Bubble Jet and they have held up really well after a couple of years. You have to use the Bubble Jet Rinse, as well, to insure the photos set well. Here are some hints that I have learned: 1. Use only 100% cotton 2. Use the BJ solution to soak the fabric and let it dry before printing the photo onto the fabric that has been ironed onto freezer paper for stability. 3. Let the photo dry at least 1/2 hour before soaking it in the rinse. 4. Press the block to insure setting of the photo. It is a fun project and I recommend using BJ. I have used t-shirt transfers and they have a plastic feel to them, but the BJ treated fabric feels the same way it felt prior to treating it. The solutions are not inexpensive, but it lasts a very long time. I found that you do not have to add a lot of the solution in order to soak the fabric, otherwise you will be wasting the unused BJ.
