I don't know if people are getting bored with me reporting things I find and love, but until told that I get on your nerves or spam the forums, I want to share with you a beautiful piece of USB key I have bought today.
For those of you who know it, a U3 SmartDrive is basicly a normal USB key, including some way to install the "mobile" software on it, this leading to you being able to run the specific programs and your personal preferences on whichever computer you like.
I have bought a 1GB one (at an wonderful deal of 20$ CAN) and I have to say I am quite amazed. There are quite a few programs on there which are coded to be portable, as
Trilian
Mozilla Firefox
The GIMP
Thunderbird
OpenOfffice
and a lot more ( I have only written the ones I can actually remember ). The only downside of this? Not everyprogram is compatible. For example, my biggst program was the outlook program not available in a mobile version. Therefore, I have to use Thunderbird to check my emails on the go and use firezilla for my calendar and contacts.
Other than that I think this is really cool. It makes it easy to customize a browser and other few programs that you always use.
That ends it for my post, for those of you who already knew about it, and who will now tell me I'm spamming the forum, would you please post some cool portable software site that I might use? It'd be appreciated.
For the other, nicer members, be free to comment on the U3 technology.
And of course, the U3 webiste :
