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).

When I shut down my U3 drive, the USB drive is ready to remove in a very short time, just a few seconds. When I use the same drive with Portable Apps, the drive will often read/write for up to a minute and a half before it is ready to remove. The difference seems to be Firefox as the U3 uses 1.5 and Portable Apps uses 2.0.

Is there something else I should be doing? The drive seems to be deleting cache files, while for some reason, the U3 version does not seem to do this.

Much thanks.

Sorry I am new here. I am trying to make a portable version of Thunderbird in a new language that doesn't seem to have been translated. How does one do that? What files do I need to get translated? If I get it translated, where would I post it for others to use? Thanks.

I'm looking for a portable MP3 Converter that supports batch jobs. Any suggestions?

Hi all.
I'm sure there must be someone out there that can help me out....!!

1. Using my laptop, I installed PortableApps suite to mu USB. Worked like a charm - except there are no icons visible for ANY programs I install, or any that are pre-installed (the files all load OK, though). Also, the links to documents, music, etc on the right hand side do not work - nothing opens when I click on them.
I have tried this with the full, lite and base installations but it's the same for all of them.

The rules are:
- Not proprietary (u3)
- at least legal freeware or open source
- English

I searched briefly on this topic and found nothing.

Whenever I install a portable app from this site, the first thing I always do is edit the INI file and disable the splash screen. This has gotten tedious after having used these apps for nearly a year, and having installed them over and over on various computers.

I was just wondering if there are nice banner thingys available i could use to set up a link to PA on my homepage.

and if im allowed 2 set up a link
