Portable Apps dont write to thumb drive... right?

Hello,

Do the portable apps write or erase from the thumb drive? I'm thinking they don't since it looks like atleast some of them can be run from a CD, but I want to be sure.

Also if its okay to ask, Once a drives write/erase cycles are maxed out, can the thumb drive still be read, and just not written to or erased? Or can it not even be read?

Thanks - Jason

some of them have to write

some of them have to write to be able to save settings. the apps that run from cd are run with additional parameters. in these, settings are not saved between use, so whatever settings are in place when the app is burned will be in place all the time.

and i think once a drive is maxed out, it's completely done.
