i think so. I was in the apple store a few weeks ago and some woman came in and said she had been running her OS and HD and everything from an external drive cause something happened to her computer, im not to sure though. it sounded kind of strange.

hmm, well, then if it's possible to put windows on an external hardrive, maybe I'll just put it on my old 4GB ipod mini

4 GBs on your HD? Not too bad, do you use it with smackbook...or is that for Parallels?

Sorry, I meant is smackbook for bootcamp or parallels...should've been clear. And if that's what you're answering, then sorry again.

It's a program that uses the motion sensor and lets you switch between OS X and Windows (or another OS) by tapping the side of your macbook/macbook pro like an old style type-writer. But I'm not sure if you need bootcamp or parallels to run it, or maybe it works with either one. YouTube "smackbook" and check out the videos, looks way cool.
