I don't remember where I read it but it was about using a thumb drive instead of taking the dongle out everytime you wanted to use another computer. I have a lap top which I want to use to learn how to use my 3D for my Designer 1. Do you know how to do this or where I could get the information?

Answers...

I think you're referring to this article...

You can read the article in-depth there and see some pictures with it, but the basic info in a nutshell is this... It's not really using a thumb drive to replace the dongle. It's using an "extender" that keeps you from having to plug your dongle directly into the USB port then remove it over and over again. Eventually the connector on the end of the dongle breaks loose from the body of the dongle making it unusable. By using the extender, you cause the extender to break and can then replace it easily.
