Noel, I was going to do just that until Vista and the external drive didn't like each other. I ended up having to install it on the Vista Machine to avoid the grief, but I have kept the backups of the folders of songs up to date, for use on my Acer which I use on my accoustic piano.

I ran the install process from the external drive and in an hour or so had all the stuff moved. You have to keep up to date with new releases and the builds change, but no big deal either if you miss 3 or 4 builds and then do it, as most of us know.

Besides, that the COOL factor is having the box with the band in it which you'll see soon enough, they should put a usb port on the box, I may do that with the new one, (ie cut a hole it it), for stange stuff brings joy to guys with grandchildren.
