Just the essentials.
If I only had a 128mb flash drive then these are the apps I would keep.
Portable Firefox
Portable T-Bird
Portable Miranda
Pstart
FastStone Screen Capture
Signupshield
Cybershredder
TrueCrypt
Portable FileZilla
Of course I have many more on my flash drive, but these would be the must keeps.

Plus, since I've been here for 20 weeks and you've been here for what, 2 hours? I know what I'm talking about. You sir, are stupid.
