2 As a rule, no. When you install a program, it puts files in multiple locations. It also puts information into the system registry as to where those locations are, when you installed it, whether or not it's registered, and so forth.

There are some utilities here and there that assist you in moving applications from one computer to another, but they don't work with 100% of the applications out there, often due to anti-piracy measures taken by the publisher. What you can do, if you still have the original disks for Photoshop, is install the application on your other computer and tell it to install to a location on your external drive. However, you would still not be able to use the application on a different computer if you moved the drive over, because of what I mentioned above.

3 What IchtheosaurusRex said! Adobe installs stuff that literally becomes part of your operating system. (Well, I'm exaggerating - but almost!)Besides, you want to have all your programs on your C: drive and then you can save the actual pictures and other data to an external drive.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
