Request Apps

I will be teaching an intro to computer class beginning in Jan. and I am going to be giving all the students thumb drives with portable apps, but one of the requests from the school was a personal finance software, that could be taught to the students (all the students are the parents of the kids at this school) and since tax time is rolling around, I thought it might be a good idea, but when I went looking around I could find no *simple* tool that could do several things.

Track expenses, allow them to build budgets, and see how saving money will benefit them in the long run.

there needs to be a portable cd burner program

Hey portable app gurus!

I really like yahoo messenger, particularly the video chat portion of it, but I know that is closed source and isn't an option.

I found this app out there that is currently free.

I'd like a program that can speed up the computer by using my fast flash drive instead of virtual memory. I know about WinVista's "ReadyBoost" capabilities (like that'll work). The PC's at my school are older than my brother and sister! They run so slow, my toaster oven is faster (okay, i'm not comparing apples to apples, but it does take 10 minutes to have the PC download a picture of toast)! I know this isn't very feasible (I think), but it's worth a shot. Thanks.

Program: Pathological

License: Open Source/GPL

Description: A game by the 'Frozen Bubble' people

Website: http://pathological.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

The windows version is self-contained - just unzip and run the executable; no install. Perfect for a flash drive.

Hello,

Has somebody tried Color Schemer?

Is ther an app like that portable? It would be a good idea.

Can you guys look into making Media Converter SA Edition (www.mediaconverter.org) a portable app?

Thanx everyone!

Best regards, GD

There are some PDF writers like CutePDF or PDF995 but you have to install those to use them.

Is it possible to create a portable PDF writer?

Using a u3 device there is an application that will change your wallpaper when you insert the device and then change it back when you take it out. is it possible to do this using the portable apps suite (Menu, not sure if that's it right name)
Becuase that has always been a pretty usefull utility.

as well as enabling the menu to launch applications upon insertion or along with the menu. i know this is probably possible by editing the Autorun.inf file but i've yet to try and i'm sure it would be usefull for people not as knowlable with computers as the rest of us.

I think that we should have a voIP client officially included in the Portable Apps Suite.

I had originally thought that we should use Asterisk, but unfortunately, that is a voIP server, not a client.

So, Does anyone know of any reputable Open-Source voIP clients out there?
