Portable Apps?

Haven’t tried this yet and never had a need, but portable applications sound interesting. These standalone apps can be stored on a flash drive and launched from the flash drive without the need for installation.

The Portable Apps Suite contains Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, AbiWord (word processor), NVU (web editor), Sunbird (calendar & task list), FileZilla (FTP client), and GAIM (instant messenger).

May come in handy.
