The "File Operations" dialog thats shows while doing the delete-knos firefox-folder-and- replace-with-my-firefox-folder routine shows that it takes considerably longer on the desktop than in the laptop. Is this just another instance of the desktops' irrational quirkiness?

Is this just another instance of the desktops' irrational quirkiness? Good question, and sadly I don't know why. Only guess I could make is that somehow the read from the stick is slower on that machine than the other since the memory writes are much faster than a disk could do. I'm trying to figure out which of your machines is the one with those NVidia MCP55 chips ... they're problematic as I indicated in the other message about your shutdown adventures. But the slowdown would be the reads, not the erase memory and write part.
