Still, it's nice to have all that stuff in my pocket and not have to lug the tablet around to have access! @Jeffrey - Glad you liked it! I had a look at those links you provided, and PerfectBrain looks really interesting. I'll look forward to a detailed rundown on your blog. Good luck with the start of the school year; hope everything's going smoothly! @David – Yeah, my tablet PC has pretty much rendered my USB drive obsolete too, at least for the time being (the tablet belongs to my school, and I have to give it back when I leave their employ).

"perfect brain" - lame name, great place to store those links that you might want to see once again but probably not more than twice. better than delicious, imho, but not web-based. http://www.thebrain.com/ and http://www.loosewireblog.com/2007/07/working-in-the-.html if it doesn't happen in the next few weeks, ask me to make good on this promise. hey damian, thanks for this – i liked the portable apps download. i’m continually frustrated by which files are the most updated. i see portable apps as one of two good solutions for note-type documents (the other being google docs), ones that don’t need to be perfect, but i will lose if i just jot on a piece of paper.

The second sentence should say ". . . I don't find any NEED for a USB drive." Whoops, I missed a word. The second sentence should say “. . . I don’t find any NEED for a USB drive.”

Since I got a laptop a year and half ago, I don't really find any for a USB drive. I occasionally pull out to back up my files but that's it.
