Submitted by norsk on December 11, 2009 - 9:55am

Hello Folks from Norway...
I am actaully English,for the time being...until my citizenship comes through.I am 54 married..and have a lot of health issues..which makes many basic things difficult.

Ok,I will try to be as brief as possible and to the point.
I am in the process of buying a 350GB external 2.5" portable lacie Hard-drive,at first i just wanted something to store Giga Bites of Music,Audio book,Photo`s,& documents..I do not wish to have to expalin..but for very valid reasons i am forced to give up my Laptop (dell studio)
and try to work at least once a week on another PC?

Bigger Menu perhaps ?

I was wondering before the beta goes gold, is there any chance to be able to have a bigger menu?

The menu looks good but if I have a larger screen I think I should be able to use it.

Thank you

Hello All

Brand new to the site so please forgive me if I get it slightly wierd?

Saw this and I think it is an awesome idea but I am a bit confused. Is there a packaging tool that I can use to convert apps to portable applications?

So what I want to do is say find a widget like Trellian Web designer tool and run the install "through" some application and be presented with a portableapp that I can then just "move" to the users machine when they ask for it. Have I got it totally wrong?

If not can you tell me what the packager is called?

Thanks all

A batch file is an executable?

Well, the school always tries to screw me up and well, looks like they were going to ban me again from their computers when they saw me running a batch file. (I was showing a joke to my computer-impaired friend).
