At my 'advanced' age, these 21-century technological changes and improvements
are a bit slow to digest, ha. I'm not sure as to how all of this works. I do
have a 500GB Samsung USB external memory (a solid-state 'thumb drive'); can
POV-ray and all my files be loaded onto it and actually RUN from there? I would
imagine that a bunch of library-paths would need changing(?), at the very least.
And/or changes to the Windows registry(?) It's all a mystery to me, I admit.

Btw, I was told by a local computer-repair shop that my Win 7's HD could be
retro-fitted with a SSD, while keeping all of my files, the OS, etc intact. Hmm,
I wonder if that's true.
