A MORE ‘PORTABLE OFFICE’

If you want to take the “portable office” idea a step further, consider thePortableApps Suite, from Rare Ideas. It is a bundle of open source programs designed to run completely from a USB memory drive. Open source means you won’t see Microsoft’s Word as part of the suite, but you can use viable options such asOpenOffice Writer or AbiWord Portable. Instead of Microsoft Outlook, you can useThunderbird (from the Mozilla Foundation, the same folks who bring you the Firefox Web browser). Because all of the software is released under the open source model, it’s free.
