A flash drive is essential gear for modern business folk, but are you using yours to its full potential? Start by stocking it with an office suite that runs straight from the drive, leaving no footprint on whatever PC you plug it into. ThinkFree Office Portable Edition is one such suite, offering Office-compatible word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. It offers password protection and various other applications that could prove useful to road warriors (like Skype and the Foxit PDF reader). Granted, it’s a little pricey at $49.95, especially given that the similar Portable Apps Suite costs zero. But there’s a trial version available, so at the very least it’s worth checking out.
