I keep all my data online using Syncplicity which eliminates any use for a USB drive, but now I am thinking about switching back. The reason for this is that Syncplicity only stores files, and not a web browser or antivirus software. These things will come in handy if I am using a public computer that only has Internet Explorer and no antivirus software.

So just wondering, is it advisable to install and encryption app like truecrypt, then install the portableapps.com suite?

My parents just got me an 8 gig thumbdrive for xmas, so I’m thinking of securing it and stuff.

And, will the portable thunderbird sync with the thunderbird with my laptop? Like for instance I get new mail in my portable thunderbird, then when I stick in my thumbdrive it’ll sync to the laptop thunderbird?

Or use Firefox extension called MozBackup. It works both with Firefox and Thudnerbird

I would like to add Moka5 to the list. You can install multiple OS:s on it like Windows, Mac or Linux and run them from the USB drive, and install programs. You can also install customixed live pc:s , mybe run a Quake 2 pc or try the OLPC

Ceedo is also a good alternative, costs some $$ but from my experience much better than MojoPac
