Well, it’s taken me a while to get around to looking into this (now old) phenomenon of portable applications. What are they? Quite simply they are applications that launch from a USB memory stick so they can be run on just about any computer without leaving any personal data or program information on the host computer.

This really is a great innovation. I don’t know what took me so long but I just started using these programs and they’re very handy. The image above is from PortableApps.com who have created a suite of applications that will run from a USB stick. Best of all the applications are free.
