Far well to our “beloved” floppy that served us for megabytes decades. But we really have to go my “dear”, we are going to new gigabytes era. So long my “dear”! We will miss “you”?

Apparently, I won”t! Wuhahaha!

With the introducing of USB flash drives in early 2000, our portable storage capacity increased thousands times than before. USB drive not only can used as a backup storage, but we can actually load some applications into this tiny little piece of hard drive.

What can we load into then? Maybe something that you want to use and often can’t find it on other people machine? Something that you don”t want to share because of privacy matter?

I had my personal internet browser and email client in my USB drive and carry them with me all the time. When I mean portable application, I mean I will leave no trace, log or even registry on the machine that I plug in.

I had all the tools I want inside my USB drive. But soon enough, I find I am repeating myself when every time I have to browse through folder by folder just to get any file or program of mine. So I started to look for more efficient way to accessing my files or programs, and I discovered the PortableApps and PStart.

Both of them offer a brilliant way to accessing your USB drive by providing something similar like Windows’s Start Menu. You can organize and list out the files and programs you want inside the menu. This will allows you get into the item you wish much faster.

Grab yourself one of them. Try it out and you will love it.
