Portable Gaim: Take your IM settings and contacts with you

Portable apps are really taking off. Portable Gaim is a version of the Gaim multi-protocol IM client that you can install onto a USB drive. That means you can take all of your contact, settings, and logs for AIM, MSN, Yahoo! IM, ICQ, and Jabber and keep them with you whether're on your own computer, a friend's, or one in an Internet cafe. Currently Portable Gaim is based on Gaim 1.5 for Windows, but maybe if we keep our fingers crossed we'll get a cross-platform version sometime soon.
