@Luc J – Yeah, many users don’t realize that USB drives can be very useful tools aside from just being a storage media. The data recovery tools are really useful and you won’t know just when it’ll come in handy but you’ll be glad you had it with you when it happens. :D

I don’t have it right now but I can do that and upload it on my server for you guys to download. Give me time and I’ll arrange these apps and upload it as one single zip file. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hey, that’s interesting. I just store a bunch of docs on mine, but have’t considered the concept of taking portalble apps with me wherever I go. Also the data recovery tools seems quite useful to have at hand all the time.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Btw, don’t happen to have a huge zip file for download, containing all these applications, do you? :)

@Melissa – You see, I was a desktop support technician before and I’m used to having people – family and friends, asking me to help them fix their computers so a USB drive with all those apps and installers comes in very handy.

Like what you mentioned, many times their browsers are messed up by malware or sometimes, you can’t download the apps because there’s no Internet connection so it helps if you already have the installers, you can install them anytime. Thanks for the compliments and thanks for sharing! :D
