We have often highlighted really useful and convenient software
applications that you can use, often freely, and that can offer you or
your organisation something really different. Here is another
such example. Todays 'monolithic' software applications are not only
expensive, but sometimes they are simply too complex or too loaded with
superfluous features. There are now a number of software vendors
creating small, modern, easy to use applications that compete head-on
with the well known commercial alternatives. These are easy to
find.
'Portable Applications' are a new breed of small programme that you can
literally take with you from system to system. Stored on a
suitable memory stick, you can carry them around with you wherever you
go, and the great thing is that you also carry around the settings that
suit you.
Of course, you still need to be aware that computers are susceptible to
viruses etc (so make sure you are running the latest virus protection
software - if you are running a Windows PC especially)
