Menu Idea: Multi Menu

My flash drive was crimping for space so I moved my development and Media software to the flash drive my dad gave me when he came back from Omaha. Now I have 2 drives I use simultaneously and only one menu. Afterwards I was looking at Outlook and realized that the menu, when launched, if it's a diff. drive, it could be possible that another expeandable pane could be implemented into the menu. The menus would run independently of each other, just if another instance of it exists that is not in the same location, the original instance would allow switching to the new instance and vice versa. Though this is only practical with multiple drives, from the forum postings I could tell that most people have at least 2 drives with PA on them.

Interesting thought. When I

Interesting thought.
When I was testing the menu it never occurred to me what would happen if you plugged in 2 drives each having a PAM. I know that U3 creates a separate LaunchPad for each drive and they function independently of each other. Not sure how that would work with the PAM

Things have got to get better, they can't get worse, or can they?

Multiple Independent PortableApps.com Platform Instances

One instance of the PortableApps.com Platform would come up from each drive (and if you try to start them again, they'll re-show their own already-running instance).

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

So basically,

in the usual case, the code that allows one instance simply gets changed to allow one instance of drive. (Oh BTW I even have a desktop pam :P)

ASuite!

Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
