Portable USB Apps…

I know there have been tons of post written on portable apps that are designed to run on a thumb drive and have no need to be installed on a computer to run. So what, I am going to do another. Part of the reason is to make this available to whom ever wants to know. The other is record my own notes and things I find valuable in a place that I can find it easily. Here are link to the major sites that seem to have a lot of really good portable apps. There is no way in the post I will be able to list or give locations to all the individual app pages and download sites. I may do that for a few that I find really important.

Have a good time clicking through this and I hope you find some tools that make life easier for you.

Of course one of my favorites:
