Hi,
I just came back from an extented stay overseas. I went with a couple of usb sticks and without my laptop. I, of course installed the necessary portable apps (firefox, thunderbird, sunbird). I am going back overseas and bringing my laptop as well as my usb sticks.
I am trying to determine if there is any disadvantage if I install the portable version (instead of the regular version) on my laptop to keep my apps more easily in sych between the laptop and usb? I may still need to use my usb drives when I go to certain countries without my laptop.
Thanks

The only disadvantage is that you can't set it as your default browser/email-program/calendar using the built in stuff, like through the options. However, there's a work around for Firefox, called DefaultMyFFP. I haven't gotten around to making one for TBP yet though

You don't want to do that
Oh and I'm serious. I'm almost done.

Can I assume the another disadvantage is that the portable app may not be on the latest release yet?
Thanks

...most of the time John has it posted within a couple hours of an updated version being released to the public. He's really good at that (I think his record of posting an update is something under an hour).
