Don't they make a type of scanner/convertor that I can purchase so that I can get some images off of old 8MM film negatives onto my laptop for still photos???

Scans up to 35mm. With a little work, it would do 8mm..

A film scanner. The one linked above will probably work, but cheap ones tend to be difficult to use.

It may be easier to take the film to a photo processing shop for scanning and transfer. These shops have much higher end scanners that automate the process, often proving far cheaper than buying even a cheap scanner (esp. after factoring in the value of your time)
