Brother, can you spare a USB drive?

Got a spare USB drive? Who doesn't nowadays, since you can pick up a 1 gig drive at WalMart or other retailers for about 8 dollars. Well, let me turn you on to something I think is one of the greatest things going for the USB drive now.



Basically, it is an entire computer, on a protable drive. Here is a list of the applications that come with it.

• Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition (web browser)
• Mozilla Thunderbird, Portable Edition (email)
• Mozilla Sunbird, Portable Edition (calendar/tasks)
• ClamWin Portable (antivirus)
• Pidgin Portable (instant messaging)
• Sumatra PDF Portable (PDF reader
• KeePass Password Safe Portable (password manager)
• Sudoku Portable (game)
• Mines-Perfect Portable (game)
• CoolPlayer+ Portable (audio player)
• OpenOffice.org Portable* (office suite)
  - Writer (word processor)
  - Calc (spreadsheet)
  - Impress (presentations)
  - Base (database utility)
  - Draw (drawing)

Now, there are also other apps that you can download and add to the drive, but really, look at that list. Word Processor, Browser, Email, PDF reader.
I use it at work because I lot of our remote locations don't have Firefox, or an updated PDF reader. I can check my email without disturbing their email client, and can load my browser with all my bookmarks on it as well.

So whether you get a USB stick drive, or thumb drive, or whatever you want to call it, why not have your files in an easy an accessible way?
