Movable software feast
Over in the forum, Newman was asking for a portable e-mail client - one he could pop on to a USB key [or portable hard drive/iPod etc.] and take with him. Anandasim pointed him at Thunderbird, which has just had the treatment from PortableApps.
There's a couple of other new and interesting developments there that you might find interesting. Our favourite cross-platform media viewer, VLC, for instance, now runs in under 12MB, so so you can take your audio and video files along with everything you need to play them.
And the free open-source anti-virus program for Windows, ClamWin, can now follow you around. At the moment, however, it does throw up a false positive in portable VLC.
As always, the forum remains a great source of advice. And discourse.

Hey Newman, just go to the Portable Thunderbird hyperlink above. I quickly inserted that URL in the forum post last night - that's about all for the time being.
