Hi Im New To Running Applications On A Flash Drive And My Question Is We All know That Flash Drives Have An Amount Of Write Cycles But When Using One Of These Applications Does It Write Anything To The USB Or Does It Just Read And If It reads Only Will This Affect The Life Of The USB????

Thanks in Advance

This was just posted in the german forum:

Hi,

Many of my friends are using PortableApps, but they have difficulties knowing about new updates so I have a suggestion:

a) While logged in, I can specify the Apps I use and I get email-update-notifications for these only.

b) Does the RSS feed support parameters so I can tell it to filter and only display the Apps I want ?

If these suggestions cause too much work for the Developpers or doesnt make sense to you, I could make a script to acomplish b)
