... location. I was not sure if such a thing actually existed but after asking on a computers forum I frequent, I was pointed in the direction of Portable apps.com. I was amazed to find that not only was there a choice of standalone video players but in fact there was an entire suite of software of all kinds that could be run from either a USB memory stick, or a CD etc. For the video task I decided just to downlload VLC portable. I set it up as required and burnt it to a cd. I all worked perfectly, and my mother was a...more

A few weeks ago, I had an interesting task set for me by my mother. Now, firstly I should explain that my mum is the area manager for a chain of coffee shops and is in charge of managing them all, along with training the staff that they employ.

Once the software is installed you can use it like the 'Start' button for windows - you click on the icon and it pops up a menu for your memory stick. Its brilliantly simple. ~~What can I do with it?~~ Wherever you are you can pop in your memory stick and see your menu of programs which you can carry with you. There are many excellent free programs or applications to choose ... Read the complete review
