I just got a 750GB portable hard drive, and I want to be able to backup my data to some of it (I've only got an 80GB hard drive in my PC), and run portable apps, store VM disks, and store old data on the rest of it. Best way to do this? Partitions? Folders?

Hi,

I have visited [link to illegal site removed by mod JTH] & was wondering if they were linked with your website? also they have a load of good apps on there that isn't on here, maybe you should get the same as them, they have things like photoshop & illustrator which you don't have, i was wondering if you were thinking of uploading them?

Thanx,
Charlie

Hi guys,

Ive just bought eee pc 1008ha and I straight away looked for some portable apps and here is my major issue:

Will SD card (i dont want usb stick) will be faster than my 2,5" 250gb hdd?
and if it were, is it worth buying more expensive 20/20 write/read card? than for example decent Transcend 12/18 write/read card? and how is it all in consideration of my eeepc card reader?

I'll appreciate every help

Is there a (free) way to have the USB drive with my PortableApps install automatically synchronize folders when it is inserted into my home computer?
I know that Toucan could do this with an autorun script, but this would not work with newer OS's like Windows 7. I also know that SyncBack SE can do this, but it coasts $30 or so.
Is there free a program I could install on my home computer to accomplish this sync when a particular USB drive is inserted?

Thanks,
Ari

SyMenu works the way I want it to! (it is also portable)

I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 3.0. When I restarted Thunderbird, it froze and slowed to a halt when trying to index. I restored my settings to a day earlier. However, when I try to open Thunderbird it does not work. It looks as if it is trying but nothing ever appears.
I would like to get my old settings, addresses and messages but I don't know how.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
R

I think that it is in PA.c's best interests to make a PAM theme gallery, something like Google Chromes gallery (thumbnails, name, and a link for a larger preview and download).

Obviously the PAM 2.0 needs to come out. I think that an addition like this would make it better known that PAM can be customized.

I understand that most resources behind this site is devoted to other (and arguably more important) things, but this may become increasingly important as PA.c becomes more mainstream.

Gluxon looked at the code and we both are getting errors. I'm going going to post on the HandBrake forum and see what I can find out what to do about the errors. If I cant figure out what to do I have two other choices I can do to make it work Move the folders in appdata (I rather not do that in case the computer get turned off or the usb gets unplugged ) Or I can make a patch for HandBrake to make it portable.

Since PortableApps.com is so vocal about Rackspace on Twitter, I figured this link might come in handy: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/185171/rackspace_outage_ha...

Maybe you guys might have a comment or two, I'm sure Rackspace would be concerned if some of their customers commented on the blog (might even be a good way to plug PortableApps.com at the same time).

I was looking at Thunderbird addons (I can't believe something as simple as File->Subscribe was the whole reason I couldn't run TB for a whole year...) I noticed Personas. And I thought (5 minutes ago), the PAM could use Personas. It would solve nearly every single gripe about theming it, including resizing (just grab a different sized persona) and complexity (just make a pic of a certain size). It'd be a good goal for PAM 3.0...
