Portable Apps Collection Updated

I just posted a torrent of the updated Portable Apps Collection. This new set includes OpenOffice.org 2.0, Firefox 1.5RC1, more games, and the latest version of AntiVir. It has grown in size and is about a 235MB download.

I have to admit, this version was a bit rushed. After the attention the collection got on Digg.com, I just wanted to get something updated. In the next couple of weeks, I'll spend more time making it easier to customize the collection and a way to provide easier updates. In the meantime, enjoy... It is a pretty good collection, if I do say so myself. I know my USB drive is a lot more valuable to me with these apps loaded!

I just finished downloading the file. My first time with bittorrent... it took me half a day before I realized I had to open a port in my router... anyway. I have tried the Apps and it's fantastic.
I just have a question, is there an easy way to configure firefox, thunderbird, and maybe other applications to store all data (favorites, mail, etc) in the encrypted volume created with TrueCrypt per your instructions?
That way, if I should lose the pen drive, I don't have to worry about my emails and browser history falling into the wrong hands?
Kudos on your
Portable Apps.

That's a great idea. I'll look into adding it.
