Get portable — bring your desktop computer with you!

When you're out of town, would you like to bring your whole desktop computer with you on a USB pen drive — a lightweight, portable device that you can plug into a computer?

According to Wikipedia (whom we also credit for the picture):

A USB flash drive is a ... memory data storage device integrated with a USB (universal serial bus) interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, much shorter than a floppy disk (1 to 4 inches or 2.5 to 10 cm), and weigh less than 2 ounces (60 g). Storage capacities typically range from 64 MB to 32 GB.

Yes, that's right — you go on vacation with the entire contents (maybe modified) of your desktop computer on a USB pen drive. (Some vacation, eh?)

Well, aside from that, here are some types of programs that we can put on a USB pen drive for you:

• Accessibility programs
• Text editor
• Email program
• Easy-to-use web-editor
• Photo/image editor
• SFTP, FTP and SCP program
• Instant messenger
• SSH client for remote access to your website
• Media players
• MS Word-compatible word-processor
• Or a whole MS Office-compatible office suite (you'll need a 4GB drive)
• Calendaring extension to the email program
• PDF viewer
• Video processing and capture
• Web browser (with YOUR bookmarks)
• Sticky-notes
• To-do list and task manager
• Zip file manager
• Password manager
• A backup system

A USB pen drive will allow you to have your data (files) with you and work on it anywhere there is a Windows computer — no matter what (if any) software is installed on the computer you are using, since ALL of the programs are portable versions that will be installed on your USB drive. And ALL of your data stays on your USB drive.

If interested, give us a call at 818-352-8700 and we can help you become more portable!

Cheers!
