Susan thanks for explaining. I have heard of Thumb Drives and Memory sticks. and can imagine they are very useful. I was confused with a mention of a second Hardrive, and could only think of it looking like the one the Engineer took out of my Tower, when I had a Hardrive failure in the Spring. that was quite large. does a small Pen like object do the job of a hardrive then? I imagine, one needs to know the quality of them, they sound ideal for both a desktop and a laptop. , they would need to be sturdy to take the knocks of everyday life. Thanks for your help. I am still not going to risk doing anything that will finish me up in the soup, not wise the stress is not worth taking. Thanks Dorothy. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
