Portable Apps

A lot of us nowadays have those little dongley things - thumb drives, USB keys, USB memory “things”, etc.

But, if we’re using them for simple document transport, we’ve probably got a whole bunch of space that’s doing nothing useful for us.

Enter Portable Apps Suite.

It’s got quite a few applications pre-loaded that can help you work with what you want, where you want to.  Why just move your documents, you can ALSO move your OpenOffice word processor with you - no more “that computer can’t open my files”.

Why use the Internet Explorer available on that spyware-infested internet cafe computer?  Bring along your OWN copy of Firefox, with YOUR bookmarks and YOUR plugins.  And, best of all, when you leave your history, cookies, and cache leave with you.

I’ve dabbled in portable apps before, and I’m glad someone finally put a bunch of the most useful ones together in one place.   With this collection, you can work safely and effectively anywhere you can use a memory device, and that’s a beautiful thing.
