General Discussion

How come when I DL the new Portable Apps doe sit not look any different from the old one? I noticed there is an eject button in the picture, but not when I install the newer version. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Just a suggestion.
I don't know how many campers are here on the forums, but when camping or hiking etc. there is a saying "Leave nothing behind" or "If you pack it in, pack it out"
I think the "Leave nothing behind" would be a perfect slogan for PortableApps.

Opinions?

Somebody updated the wikipedia page.

A little while ago, I just copied some info from the site to Wikipedia.org so people new more about the site and what was availible (Me persnally, I like to read up on wikipedia.org before roaming the actual product, site, etc.)

Anyone know why Italics aren't working in signatures?

I don`t mean blackbox or all those app launchers. Is there a "real" portable desktop?

Hi there, open office portable is a great application but the thing is its more than what we actually, for most of us anyway. most of us will use the OpenOffice Write and OpenOffice Calc, not Impress or Draw or Base. What happens is most of us are carriyng what we do not use a wast of space in the thumb drive. I want to know is there any way of getting rid of unwanted stuff in OpenOffice. I only Use calc and write.

thanx.

with CrossOver Mac (a Mac version of Wine)?

This may sound stupid but, why don't we make a list of devices that work best with portable apps. Devices listed would be benchmarked on different systems (ones with different USB versions, tested on both Windows and Linux (or other Unix-based OSes) with Wine or other Wine-based thing (like CrossOver Linux) and Mac OSX with CrossOver Mac (CrossOver Mac is a version of Wine for Macs) and so on) and then the apps will be used on the devices on the variety of different systems.

Do they, if so how much life is taken from the iPod?
Also are portable apps faster on an iPod rater than a thumbdrive (since the iPod has a hard drive).
