This weeks download pick is a FREE utility called PortableApps that lets you
run an application on any PC from a USB Stick or your Ipod or any portable
disk.
They have even put together a suite of Apps called PortableSuite that you
can download that includes things like Open Office, Firefox, Thunderbird and
others.

From their site:
A portable app is a computer program that you can carry around with you on a
portable device and use on any Windows computer. When your USB flash drive,
portable hard drive, iPod or other portable device is plugged in, you have
access to your software and personal data just as you would on your own PC.
And when you unplug the device, none of your personal data is left behind.
*No Special Hardware* - Use any USB flash drive, portable hard drive,
iPod/MP3 player, etc
*No Additional Software* - Just download the portable app, extract it and go
*No Kidding* - It's that easy
Consider the Possibilities...
- Carry your web browser with all your favorite bookmarks
- Carry your calendar with all your appointments
- Carry your email client with all your contacts and settings
- Carry your instant messenger and your buddy list
- Carry your whole office suite along with your documents and
presentations
- Carry your antivirus program and other computer utilities
- Carry all your important passwords and account information securely
Consider the Convenience...
- Have your favorite websites handy to recommend to a friend or
colleague
- Have your presentation AND the required software ready to go for
that big meeting
- Have your password with you if you want to bank online while
traveling
- Have utilities handy when visiting family or friends that are having
