Tiny USB Office: Floppy office portable apps suite outgrows its disk
Like the idea of carrying a portable office suite on your USB flash drive, but think that OpenOffice.org and even smaller applications like AbiWord take up too much space? Tiny USB Office provides a ton of useful applications, hold the bloat.
Tiny USB Office started its life as "Floppy Office," an application suite with a footprint so small that it could fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk. You know, if you happen to have one lying around. But the developers have packed so many features into the latest release that there was no way to keep the suite that small. No, Tiny USB Office now takes up a whopping 2.4MB.
Here are a few of the applications included int he suite:

No problem, just get a 2.88MB floppy drive and you're good to go.

i think the USB drive or key is the precursor to the all-in-one access device to internet communication services. ( remember the word 'service' ) The need for local applications -- see another blog within DLS -- is outdated, Mother Web has it. Mark my words.
Plug and pay, plug and play.
Get your grandma a bouquet of flowers plus a card with your handwritten love message and signature on it.
Taxes or doctors are handled that way in my novel (written story) and in my imagination and almost in my real life.
Such technology exists but profits are terrible things to mind and so users cannot enjoy the full benefice of such premises.
There is too much competition for the good of consistency of services (note the word), the only good parts are that prices are kept low by competition and emulation promotes creativity.
Did I say that?
These thoughts are protected by my right hand, they're mine, they're not on my USB Key or drive.
Surf's up dudette!

i am replying to my self, 'cause my ego said I forgot to acknowledge and thank publicly the GLP population for its meritable effort to serve (that word, again) the user population with free-of-charge compact-coded platform-independent applications.
Thousands sorries for my forgetfulness.
And so, I acknowledge and thank publicly the GLP population for its meritable effort to serve (that word, again) the user population with free-of-charge compact-coded platform-independent applications.
Thanks for your support.
