anyone here use any of the apps from http://portableapps.com/ or can advise me on where would be a good place to get a few U3 apps, have a little 512meg flash key floating about and want to put it to some use

I have used most of those apps from that website for awhile now on my 1GB stick. Works great, easy to use. Not sure what you mean by U3?

U3 = another name given to portable apps

U3 is a company and U3 drives have special U3 software on the sticks other than the portable application you are wanting to use.

I'm too lazy to type out a better explanation so I'll point you to wikipedia for a general idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U3

Eitherway, the http://portableapps.com/ is an awesome place to get stuff for your USB stick.

Having Firefox on your thumbdrive is awesome when you get to those computers with IE6 on them and no one wants to change it lol Plus antivirus on the go, so forth. Very cool!

I love portable apps, I use it all the time. In fact, I'm using it now to write this post with Portable Firefox.

I have found it best to disable caching to disk with Portable Firefox, and just use a temp memory cache to improve efficiency.

Definitely recommened it !
