For those of us that are stuck using public or company PCs throughout the day this website is a worht a look.

PortableApps.com | Your Digital Life, AnywhereÃƒÂ¢Ã‚â€žÃ‚Â¢

Here you can get Portable Firefox among MANY other applications. I use Portable GIMP from there as well as a Word compatible word processor and a program called 7-zip. I also use Portable VLC Media Player to watch DVDs at work.

They have a portable launcher to, its called Pstart. Set it up.....then everytime you insert your USB drive a little launcher icon is added to the toolbar.....you can then start all your portable applications using it and a few clicks. Works great.

Check it out....

I hadnt heard about the U3 but just Googled it....appears as this is the poor mans approach.

One application I use alot that they dont have listed is:

Foxit Reader - its a free PDF reader that isnt bloated beyond belief like Adobe is. It simply runs from a directory with no installation required. I need to read PDF files on the go quite a bit.

Its listed at the top of this page......with alot of other programs.

Handy programs to put on a USB stick. at SnapFiles.com

Yeah its pretty cool, I wouldn't say a poormans solution but more a way to convert the still usefull non U3 thumb drives. like my current 2 gig drive.
