Best programs to have?

Suddenly I feel really newbish and dumb for asking..
But I'm new to using portable apps(which is strange because i'm usually traveling around with my dad) and i was wondering what are the best programs to have for your USB? I already downloaded Openoffice and Gaim and firefox, but I was wondering if there was other things you think would be really useful to have in the future?

I did search the Site like the guidelines said and the only thing that came close was the topic 'whats on your USB?' but you guys cite alot of programs that aren't on this site and sorta don't post many links.. (I don't mean that as an insult!!)

Did i post this in the wrong catagory? Oh well.. anyways incase it matters I have a Kingston DataTraveler 1GB USB 2.0 flashdrive.

and I want to use my USB for:
School(college work)
Security(My mom's comp is a wreck..)
and just all around recreational for when I don't use my comp(thus Firefox as mentioned earlier)
If it's not too much trouble i hope you could help me out.. *cough*

Don't please

There are thousand of better program than the dinosaur photoshop, have a try with the Gimp on this site (if you may need plugins, there are a lot available).
The Gimp is lighter, faster and more human than photoshop.

Portable ACDSee

I notice that you have managed to make ACDSee Portable. I am currently using the old version 2.41 Classic and would like to make that portable. Can you give me some hints? RegRapper did not work too well.

Thanks

Portable Adobe Photoshop CS2?

How did you make Photoshop CS2 portable? I would love to have that as I find it much easier than learning GIMP.

Thanks,

Timothy

CS 2

GiMP doesn't support 16 bit..... I need 16 bit support for my job so I use CS 2.... it's not at all dinosaur like, monolithic and expensive for casual use maybe, but it's just a tool to be learned.... a browse of the freeware sites will bring up a range of very good image manipulation tools.... not all portable of course Wink
