Thanks all!
I was OK taking notes.  I had my iPhone and my Apple keyboard.  I could not, 
however, edit a 40 page MS Word software license agreement full of automatic 
numbering, automatic cross-references, multiple outline-level styles, tables, 
bookmarks, and track changes.  So, the iPhone was out, and NVDA didn't really 
cut it either.  Fortunately, I only needed to mark, delete, and copy a few 
paragraphs and edit a few sentences.  So, I got by with NVDA.
I'm on the Freedom Scientific site right now.  I went through the price sheet 
and saw nothing about a thumb drive or portable JAWS, though I did see 
references in the technical support archives to both.  I'm sending Freedom 
Scientific a message right now to inquire.
I thought dongles were hardware devices to prevent unlawful use.  That is, the 
software won't work unless it gets in touch with a dongle which is plugged into 
the computer.  That would mean, I suppose, I would have to carry the dongle (no 
problem) and download to install.  That works if I have an Internet connection. 
 I suppose I could just keep the JAWS CD in my laptop bag.
Still, I think the thumb drive option may be the best, provided Freedom 
Scientific still offers it.
I'll find out.

Yes, a dongle as well as PDAs work for taking notes if all else fails.
