gt24 said:How do run an operating system off an external hard drive?
I thought to add another silly thing which is laptop related. I have a Logitech mouse for my laptop that is wireless and suppositely has a year battery life on standby. I also have an Logitech mouse for my desktop which has a charging cradle. I am usually pretty good at keeping that one charged, however like today sometimes I forget about it and get the lovely "low battery" warning. Thus, I charge it and use my laptop mouse (thank goodness for USB). I think I am using my laptop mouse more for my desktop than my laptop... who knew that I would be doing that.
My laptop supports booting from USB devices such as USB keys and External hard drives. The hard drive im using is an external 2.5" enclosure for a laptop hard drive so it gets power and signal both from USB. Works great.
