Portable apps users unite, you have nuthin' to lose but your flash drives

Freedom from using memory hungry apps looms on the horizon. Portability is the hottest buzz word and there is a dedicated website for the PC enthusiast in us who just hate being tied down to the likes of MS Office or Corel WordPerfect. Your key to freedom is here: http://portableapps.com/

I use Portable Apps in my 2GB PNY flash drive, and I find it very useful for password management using KeePass Portable. Using KeePass portable, I am able to generate strong passwords for my accounts, then keep these passwords in the thumb drive.

(For one who always forgets usernames and passwords, KeePass is a lifesaver! :) )

KeePass will even open the URL for you, and AutoType your username and password.

KeePass Portable: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/keepass_portable

I also recommend Portable Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird so you can carry your bookmarks and email wherever you go.
