Take your computer with you with PortableApps!




Sometimes we have to use computers that are not our own. Many times we have more than one that we use – for example one at home and one at school. Wouldn’t it be great if you could take all of your settings from one computer to the next, instead of having to configure each individually?

Enter Portable Apps. It’s a suite of free and open-source applications that can be installed anywhere, including a USB flash drive. Users can then run the applications from there, in effect ‘taking their settings with them’!

    Any opinions on the pros and cons of Portable Apps vs Google Docs?

    Personally, I’m a big fan of Google Docs, but using this service (it has been decided) would confuse some teachers when we’re about to launch the VLE.
