I was looking for some software for my USB drive, and I stumbled upon a sleak little program called Portable Apps.Portable Apps is a start-menu-looking program that lists all of your pictures, videos, and programs that are on your USB drive in a neat and organized way.It also gives you default portable apps depending on what size you download.Some examples of these programs are Mozilla Firefox Portable,Pidgin Portable,Mozilla Thunderbird Portable so you can have your email with you,Mozilla Sunbird which is a calendar program, a PDF reader for computers that don't have one, and much more.You can also download and install more applications(apps) by clicking on options, and then on get more apps.They have Gimp, Skype, Open Office.org, and a lot of other useful programs that you don't need to install on you computer, just your USB drive.Portable Apps also understands those frustrating nights were you get home from work and toss your pants carelessly in the wash and realize in the morning that all your important information is on the USB drive,THAT WAS IN YOUR PANT'S POCKET!With their easy to use backup, simply click the backup button select what to backup and where to keep the files and then load them on your computer.But wait,there's more!It also has a search option to search the computer, web, or just the USB drive and it has a quick and easy to access safely remove button so it's no longer a hassle to unplug it without damaging the contents.Last but not least it has a memory bar that shows how much total memory you have left on your USB drive.I installed it on mine and was very pleased especially with a large selection of portable programs.This would be a good alternative for those who use a lot of different computers.
Signing off,
