Some of you may already know about these great little tools, but thanks to the effing librarian for alerting me to Portable Apps, a suite of cut down applications that can be used on any PC. Coincidentally, it's also a featured app on the download blog this week. It must be a sign!
"the PortableApps Suite approach to mobile computing feels more Web 0.5 than 2.0. Instead of hosting programs online, PortableApps is a comprehensive application suite that fits onto and runs from almost any thumbdrive with at least 512MB of space, and can be shrunk down even further if need be."
