But i cant see how the c drive would be disabled - physically and IT wise - and replaced with an external drive in the docking station.
I'm sorry. I wasn't too clear. I didn't mean move your C drive to the external drive. Leave the C drive where it is and move other stuff like Orbx to the external drive.

Im afraid my PC knowledge doesnt extend to replacing my internal SSD C drive with a larger SSD - unless it involves plugging it in externally via a USB !!
It is just that simple. A disc drive docking station connected to a USB port will solve the problem. It can be used with either a SSD or a HDD. Here's one source of more information https://www.andrewmacarthy.com/andrew-macarthy-social-media/best-hard-drive-docking-station .

...was with a babe in a movie I watched in 1956. Her name was Doris day. The movie was Love Me Or Leave Me. I cut afternoon classes for three days to watch this movie. I just watched it again and the feeling is still there. I grew up just a few miles from her hotel in Carmel, California. Although Doris has left us now, if you're ever in Carmel you really need to try the Cypress Inn. (You'll love the dogs in the dining room at breakfast.)

I know. It's just my agoraphobia. I've got five babes in five different cities who tell me the same thing.....

When I was just a little guy my grandma told me "the label on your underpants always goes on the inside back". I still think of that every day.

I turned 80 a couple of days ago and I just learned that the Armed Forces think I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards.
Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're at least 55.
For starters, researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every 10 seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a month, leaving us more than 280,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.
Young guys haven't lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. 'My back hurts! I can't sleep, I'm tired and hungry.' We are bad-tempered and impatient, and maybe letting us kill some asshole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while.
An 18-year-old doesn't even like to get up before 10 am. Old guys always get up early to pee, so what the hell. Besides, like I said, I'm tired and can't sleep and since I'm already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch.
If captured, we couldn't spill the beans because we'd forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.
Boot camp would be easier for old guys. We're used to getting screamed and yelled at and we're used to soft food. We've also developed an appreciation for guns. We've been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.
They could lighten up on the obstacle course however. I've been in combat and never saw a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any pushups after completing basic training
Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too. I've never seen anyone outrun a bullet.
An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He's still learning to shave, to start a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn't figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.
These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm's way.
Let us old guys track down those terrorists. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple million pissed off old farts with bad attitudes and automatic weapons who know that their best years are already behind them.
HEY!! How about recruiting Women over 50... in menopause!!! You think MEN have attitudes?? Ohhhhhhhhhhhh my God!!! If nothing else, put them on border patrol. They'll have it secured the first night!-

I too went for the refund. If Orbx ever gets their act together I'll surely buy it again.

85 and a bunch. It's been 40+ years now. They had nothing like these back "in the day". Probably a good thing because I'm basically a chicken when it come to this kind of stuff. Looks like a lot of fun though.

I'll never forget my first visit to Paris. Both of my sons are musicians, of sorts. Both play bass guitar. One plays jazz and the other bluegrass. I was "instructed" to visit Jim Morrison's gravesite and send them a picture. Which I did. At that time I had no idea who Jim Morrison was. Boy, did I ever get an education. What a sad story. He was only 27 when he died. I'm an old fart who has come to love The Doors. Thanks Adam.

No, I do just the opposite Rodger. I only fly to those places I've visited in RL. My wife and I are truly blessed. Over the years we've visited 117 countries. I fly to those places just to relive the memories. And there are so many. If I add on the countries that I alone visited in my business years the total rises to 131. There are no words to express how grateful I am for these years. I just wish that everyone were as lucky as I have been.................

It provides so many opportunities for sharing with others. Here's one example:
DEAR NEIGHBOR:
Hi, Fred, this is Richard, next door.
I’ve got a confession to make. I’ve been riddled with guilt for a few
months and have been trying to get up the courage to tell you
face-to-face. At least I’m telling you in this e-mail. I can’t live
with myself a minute longer without your knowing about this.
The truth is that, when you’re not around, I’ve been sharing your
wife, day and night. In fact, probably much more than you. I haven’t
been getting it at home recently, and I know that that’s no excuse. The
temptation was just too great. I can’t live with the guilt and hope you’ll
accept my sincere apology and forgive me.
Please suggest a fee for usage, and I’ll pay you.
Regards, Richard.NEIGHBOR’S RESPONSE:
Fred, feeling very angry and betrayed, grabbed his gun, went next door,
and shot Richard, killing him. He went back home, shot his wife, poured
himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa. Fred then looked at his
computer again and discovered a second e-mail from Richard.2ND E-MAIL:
Hi, Fred. Richard here again. Sorry about the typo on my last email.
I expect you figured it out and noticed that the darned Auto-Correct had
changed “wi-fi” to “wife.” Technology, huh? It’ll be the death of us
all.-

This Week's Meaningless Topic (#159)(Sept 22)
in The Neil Hill Memorial Lounge
Posted
When my wife and I were first married we lived in a dumpy apartment in San Francisco. One building, three apartments. We were in the middle. All I can say to describe the experience is hookers to the right and hookers to the left. On the first of the month there was no place to park within two blocks. That said, there were a couple of babes on the right that made me wish I was still single.....🙂
