With apologies for my lack of understanding, I'm not sure I see where this
conversation about external drives is taking me. What is really at issue is
whether or not I do a full install (be that on an external, internal, or
whatever drive) of all my programs for the sake of a month of the "loaner" if I
am going to have to repeat all of that when the new machine arrives...
How does an extremal drive solve this for me?
When you install everything you need on an external drive it saves you a
lot of time and effort.
You won't have to open the loaner computer. You won't have to install
all your programs and data on someone else's drive. You won't have to
take the time to wipe the drive of the loaner to return it to pristine
condition. Everything you use is on a drive you own.
When you get your own computer, you can either clone the external drive
to the internal or swap them. Either way, you own both and don't have to
bother with someone else's drive.
