| I know that this has been kind of covered before through articles about freeware, shareware etc, but I would be very interested in an article about programs to put onto usb drives or easily portable hard drives for troubleshooting. As an example, I have a usb drive with ccleaner, avg, cpuid, sandra and various other progs to help me when some one asks me to check out their box (I am not an engineer, just a talented amateur with a bit of a knack for finally working out the reason for a problem). I would also be interested in how to set up a usb drive or a CD to boot, get online and troubleshoot as well. This would prove invaluable to fiddlers like me, and who knows, may prove to be of some value to your many professional readers as well! Thanks for producing a very worthwhile magazine, I have decided that once I move house (middle of next month) I shall look to subscribing to Micromart - that will save the annoyance I feel when I get to the newsagents to find it is sold out. p.s. I was looking though a copy of PC Advisor recently and spotted an article by Jason, but it couldn't be the same one - the picture of this Jason looked a bit older that Micromarts Jason (Ahem!) Regards to all BigT
Varies on an almost daily basis depending on what I have lying around & want to play with (Comes of being a disabled volunteer with a facination for computers!!!)

Wondered about getting a good modest USB flash drive for a while now.
Be nice to see something on Bart/WinPE, security and maintenance apps for those and novel uses etc - even a short series, or one more for general peripherals/external storage articles.

As a related, but slightly off topic, point, a brief roundup of any programs that can automatically sync a removable device on connection would also be good.
e.g. I use my USB memory stick in college with Firefox Portable and Open Office portable, and I've started using them at home too, but from the HDD. This means I've often got files / setting on one, but not both. The same can be said for portable virus scanners etc.
