Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

I'd give my right arm to have a portable version of Hamachi for my USB thumb drive
It's sooo convenient when you have a stupid nat/router and you can't make ports work!!
Please, portable Hamachi. Please. Please. Pleaseee!

It would be great to get this going!!
As you are working on different computers a track cleaning program might be useful.
Do you have any in mind?
A portable version of celtx would be wonderful!
Celtx ( http://www.celtx.com ) is a free (not Open Source) scriptwriting
program based on Firefox's API.
The fact that it is using firefox engine I hope that makes it easy to
portabilize (oooh... I should get a trademark for that) since FF was made
portable for quite a while now. But that's how it works on my simple mind!
So is there any interest, first of all?
This would be an excellent addition to the portable app tool set. I have been a long-time user of topstyle pro (an excellent css editor) and would like to have a portable version to use in the classroom.
I've seen a lot of references to installing a JRE on a USB key. Can anyone provide a set of instructions for doing this? I know John has said that he's got one in the works, but he seems to have a lot on his plate at the moment. Maybe someone can help him out a little. It would be great if the howto could also include things like where the JRE needs to be located to run various apps using relative paths, and so forth, so wannabe-geeks like me, who don't automatically think of these things, could implement it.
If this has already been addressed, I applologise. I did a forum search, but didn't find any instructions.
Would it be possible to list Damn Small under the portable OS page? It can be used from a thumbdrive - either embedded while running Windows or booted directly from the USB drive.
