oh no, dropped the ehd
that's always something I dread! yay for carbonite and cloud backup service. it might take 30 hours..but i bet you don't mind at all because after those 30 hours, you'll have all your files back. i think your decision to velcro the ehd & usb hub to your computer is very wise, i might just do that myself too.
ooooh, you have a new desktop computer you are not using !??! it'll be so much faster for sure. if you have still have all the PS CS5 install files and user information, you should be able to install it on the other desktop. just give it a try. I did go for the subscription option (monthly) and I am just so happy I did. all the updates (allthough sometimes the updates are not so good) and I just love having the latest CC version.
Keep us posted and keeping my fingers crossed all be fine after the backup is done
