If I am downloading a portable version of Jaws then what and why do I need
the Dongle? In other words 2 usb ports are taken up with this but that is
OK. I am just looking for confirmation of that. Wonder that Dolphin do not
do the same for Supernova. I know they do a pen drive but it is quite
expensive and I am not sure if it has a new liscence also. They say that if
you loose it and you have not insured it then you must pay all over again!
