well, after dancing around with different start ups and DU telling me in one configuration everything is fine and then NOT, i'm finally booted from the internal and it verified.
i'm going to see if all this work yielded me a peppier internal. if not, i'll erase the partitions on the external so i'll have lots of space, boot from that and use the internal as my back up somehow.
thanks for all your patience. i'm going out to buy a lottery ticket now so i can dream of a new mac with lots of RAM, HD space and a 24" monitor...
