Running Firefox from a USB stick

[Stuart Thiessen]

That is a good idea, Adam. Maybe some of you didn't know. You can  
download a specialized version of most opensource software (including  
Firefox and Thunderbird) that can run from a USB stick. The portable  
versions are also free. This way you don't have to install anything on  
the computers (office or school). You can simply put in the USB stick  
and then run Firefox from that USB stick. It does also have DOSBox  
that you can download onto a stick which could allow you to access SW- 
DOS for any older documents you have in that format.

The website for this software is: www.portableapps.com. All of this  
software works on Windows, but if you are running any versions earlier  
than XP, you should check on the website for any compatibility issues.

FYI,

Stuart
