The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Should say beta version then not demo version. Beta means there may be bugs, demo means you are using either a slimmed down version or a time limited version and will have to pay for the full featured version.

Oh and only one l in solution.

And the main question obviously is how portable is it?

Yes but that's because most of it is in the dotNET framework such as the text editor where as the others are all self contained.

Mouse gestures are pretty much an add on these days

Ok if you have niche formats you want to play but pointless for the masses who all pretty much just use mp3, aac, wma or ogg

I like how people are up in arms over PRISM despite the fact it's been known for years that governments are doing this but at the same time they are happy to post their entire life and enough data for a full psychological evaluation on Facebook and are happy to have Google track everything they do a...

Again it's a fine line. Who can say how many criminals/terrorists have been caught because of this snooping? And how many of them would of been monitored if we only monitored people we had reason to suspect?

We have the people vote on who runs the country and look how that turned out

Would you trust the public to actually make an intelligent choice? The herd mentality is to go with whatever is the current big news story or whatever crap they have recently been fed.

Just let me know what it is via PM. Shame they are rushing to fix the the exploit in Web player that lets you download any song for free

Exactly. With a zip file you know that 99.99% of people will be able to open it. 7z seems to be the method of choice for self extracting archives these days. I think rar is always going to be the good one that nobody actually uses.

At the end of the day though everyone is still going to use zip for anything mainstream just as they use mp3. Only time I have seen rars used in public is when they have broken movies down on torrent sites.
