At the risk of sounding like a techno-dunce, what is the difference between
a dongle and a flash drive? Or is a dongle simply a small flash drive with
a pre-loaded authorization code?

A dongle works by inserting the device into the computer's USB or parallel
port, most likely the uSB port. It allows one to authorize JAWS on any
machine so long as the dongle is connected to that machine where JAWS is
installed. Here's more information, from JAWS help.
Dongle Authorization
A dongle is a hardware device that you can connect to a computer's
parallel
or USB port (depending on the type of dongle). JAWS is authorized to run
on
that computer as long as the dongle remains connected. This is useful if
you
frequently need to use JAWS on many different computers and do not want to
activate the program on each of them.
When JAWS starts, it first determines whether a dongle is connected to the
computer. If one is connected, JAWS uses the features and information for
the license associated with the dongle to authorize JAWS. If no dongle is
connected, JAWS searches for the license information stored on the
computer.
You can use the Dongle Viewer utility to view information on the license
associated with the dongle currently connected to your computer. To start
this utility, go to the JAWS program group, open the Tools submenu, and
choose Dongle Viewer.
Note: It is recommended that you do not connect the dongle to your
computer
until after you install JAWS. If the dongle was connected before or during
installation, you must restart your computer to receive proper
authorization.
Dongles are sold separately or as an additional JAWS feature. Contact
Freedom Scientific Sales if you want to purchase one.
Note: Certain international versions of JAWS require a dongle for
authorization. Using one of these versions without a dongle displays an
error message.
Hope this helps.
