John Haller and the others at PortableApps.com have so liberated me.
I am a consultant visiting multiple customer sites each week. I carry all of my required applications on a USB stick. I synchronise my USB stick with my work laptop and my home PC, why install apps and have multiple configurations?

i’m a mac user, forced to work on a pc world.
i have to change computers a lot at work, from desktop to laptop and back, at the office and on the road.

apart from a few apps that are designed specifically for my job, every other one is on a usb stick.

i carry everything with me, just in case. along with the apps i also carry a portable wiki (tidlywiki).

not only is this a much nicer way to do things, in my opinion, but also safer (no stored passwords on the office’s pcs)

PortableApps.com rocks! Being free makes it much better than U3 and I carry my flash drive in my pocket all the time.

For those instances when I don’t have my computer and I need *my* apps, they are there on my flash drive!

I’ve used them at the local library, the university, my wife’s laptop and more…

The concept of “my computer” just keeps getting smaller and smaller. Now, I don’t need my computer, just a computer and my PortableApps.
