[GLLUG] Flashdrive uses

[Benjamin Cathey]

I have one with portableapps set up on it so when I go to a windows machine all my firefox extension and bookmarks travel with me - of course I am using truecrypt to encrypt the drive (thanks to advice from you guys) - it also has a BUNCH of windows utilities for debugging, puttyportable, gaimportable, clamwinportable and the win32 commandline set of linux utilities (like awk, cat, cp, less, etc oh and diff which I just used to check some code the other day) - also procexplorer and the other sysinternals utils, sharewatch, ipscanners, vncviewer, netcat, metapad, etc, etc, etc . . .  :D
