Why did the firefox logo get so bad from 3.0 to 3.5? I personally think that the new logo looks too cartoony. I looked at my FFP files to try and find out which icon it was but I couldn't find it. Does any one know what it is?

I have looked over the last few months at a range of email programs - open source, freeware and commercial - some portable - and have come to a few conclusions. I haven't been exhaustive with links to each app, but they can all be found with a few simple Google (or your own favorite search engine) clicks.

I just recently installed PortableApps on a 4 GB flash drive. It's a very handy tool, but it's just slightly annoying to have to open PortableApps manually. Is there a way to make it start-up automatically when I put the flash drive in a computer?

Not a request, I swear!

Anybody seen this? The Staples ad this weekend has it. $25 if you buy a computer, $50 otherwise, comes on a flash drive that says exactly that on it (topic title). Looks generic, but nicer than your average SanDisk Cruzer.

I was just flipping through that, and the Best Buy ad looking at flash drives and portable hard drives wondering when I was going to see a flash drive preloaded with PortableApps stuff, which I know is a ways off, when I saw this.

what is the recommended way to remove an app?

Can someone fix the forumns search functionality so that it gives the option of listing all posts in reverse order of being posted? i.e. So the most recent posts appear first?

Presumably it displays them by what it thinks is the most relevant - but something like google has where you can switch to the most recent would be more useful about 50% of the time. (that's why google has this option)

atm, if you search for something like "server", the first few posts are from 2007-08, which isn't much use if you're looking for recent posts on server software!

I am on Vista to home, and that is great, as if my flashdrive gets corrupted I just plug it in and it sorts it out. At work however we are on XP, which doesn't do that, and we have old computers which are forever killing flashdrives.

I am FED UP of either having to take my laptop into work, or coming home with a pocketful of everyone else's dead flashdrives to sort out. Is there anything portable out there (no, I can't install on work computers) because apparently we are going Thin Client soon, and even that doesn't have anything either.

hi all,
I am looking for some nice portable mp3 player able to view album cover like WMP or Amarok for example.

Currently using XMPlay, also tried Coolplayer, portable Winamp etc.

does anybody here know one?

thanks

PS: I have many albums from Jamendo, and I want to create selection on CD with autorun and player and displaying album covers in player would be very nice although it is not necessary.

Hello,
I have a question regarding the no splash screen option.
Turning off the splash screen worked, but instead I get
a mouse wait cursor, after the app started, for about 5 seconds.
I tried this with Sumatra 0.9.4 and WinDirStat 1.1.2.80,
both with the same result.
This also happens, when the program is started and stopped
a few times in a row, so something should be cached by windows.
I do not know, why there is a mouse wait cursor, because these
are small apps that usually start very fast, and do not do this
without the PA launcher.

Srry if this is the wrong spot for this i wasnt sure where to put this post
