SSD is "Solid State Drive". The common point here is that Compact Flash, Secure Digital, and Solid State Drives all use NAND flash memory as the actual storage media. The particular form in which it's implemented is the form factor, but the media is the same and has the same strengths/weaknesses.. IDE drives come in different form factors too, depending on whether they are intended for a desktop, laptop, or noreboot/netbook, but it's still a hard drive. > You can pull a dos loaded chip from a computer and move it to another > computer > without too many problems Windows will work on one computer but will refuse > to > work on another machine even if its very similiar. Like I said, it will need to be re-authenticated. It's *not* a portable OS. Windows keeps comprehensive information on just what it's installed on in the registry, and will notice if that changes. MS is willing to let you move a copy of Windows from one machine to another, but *isn't* willing to have the *same* copy of Windows running on more than one machine. The license under which you got it is for one machine, not many. > I can start working on something at home;then I can pull the chip and run > it at another far away location.

(And most of what I work on would be useless under DOS, because the programs that create/manipulate the data don't exist for DOS.) > So what do you know about the DISPLAY command - why doesn't VGA work?. I have no idea. The problem hasn't bitten me. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
