General Discussion

Anyone else eagerly awaiting USB 3.0? I will probably have to buy an external USB adapter to get full speeds of the new devices (won't upgrade motherboard for a while yet) and I hope that new thumb drives won't be too expensive because the first thing I want is a 8GB USB 3.0 thumb drive to place my PortableApps backup on

Alot of threads I've seen on this board have ended with the general statement "we only support OSS not freeware. Comeback when its OSS."

While this is great for the development and management of the official suite of portableapps, it would be nice to have a handy index of freeware apps that dont have a OSS solution available.

I have a few pharmacy programs for a pocket pc that would be great to carry around on the thumb drive. so is there any portable apps program that can emulate pocketpc or winmobile? thanks for any info, GD

Is there a portable apps organizer like outlook or something that could sync with yahoo calendar and notes? thanks for any info, GD

I would like to know when are they going to update the PortableApps Menu?

Please!!!! Stop asking for portable operating systems. all of us regular users of this site are sick and tired of seeing the constant in flow of portable os requests. for one, we already have a portable operating system (not developed by us) called Mac-On-Stick. second, a truely portable operating system is already in the works and will be done when it is done!

so once again, Please stop asking.

Me again, the forensic therapist computer ignoramus...

If it is not possible/practical/legal (i've read all three options here) to create a truly portable XP or other flavor of Windows, then perhaps someone could devise a way to securely erase any traces left behind if one boots XP from USB.

I've started on a comparison page for PortableApps at http://cubegames.net/development/compare
From what I've been able to see, everything should be correct, but the page needs to be fleshed out with some better descriptions. The format is based on http://htmlpurifier.org/comparison.html

Anyone care to help out?

Howdy all, I just wanted to inform the community of the changes that have occurred in the PortableApps.com IRC support channel, #portableapps on irc.freenode.net.

As discussed previously by Ryan, there are 3 main 'positions' we've set up; Operators, Gurus, and DeMos.

Operators have full channel access, and have the most 'authority' in the channel.

Gurus are members who hang in the channel often are and typically helpful in providing support to users as well as managing the channel.

Will you still use Portable Firefox 2?
