[nfbcs] Jaws and activations

[I. C. Bray]

Not to sound overly critical of something I'm just now learning to use / 
appreciate, but that is kinda silly.
First of all, the darn program is extreemely expensive... and as a retired 
System's Analyst, I still like to drag old boxes out of the closet and 
tinker...
Plus, I have a coterie of younger college student friends who pick my brain 
on old hardware, and legacy operating systems.  It'd be nice to have some 
functionality to allow me to hot-swap a usb drive to use on any machine I 
happen to find myself in front of...
