Time to get a bigger one like you shoulda done in the first place ;)

I spent way too much on the first one, and then got an identical-sized drive for $20 when CompUSA had a rebate.

I use a disk enclosure with a 300 GB drive in it.  I'll have to grab this portable stuff and load it on it.
Vids:  Home built MAME machine, Crystal Castles. Arkanoid
Pins:   Williams Aztec (working). Stern Nugent (not working...yet), Williams Phoenix (major not working, missing parts.... )

Always on the lookout for buying 90's game with Ramps that need work...

Sweet site.   Definitely something I'll spend some time with over the weekend.

Are you talking about the spellcheck for the e-mail client part of the browser?

In that case that's for Mozilla or the e-mail client Thunderbird.
Now in a tasty new flavour.

I've been using that site for a while, my fave's are:-

Pstart - Launcher
UPXer - It compresses exe files
Photofiltre - Art package
Microburner - A CD Burner 1mb in size
Restoration - A deleted file recovery tool

Using that site and a few others, I've gotten the best part of 40 Apps, 25 Installable apps, 30 games and 292 mame games on a 128mb stick .

Check firefox' extensions.  Dunno if they work the same with Portable Firefox, but it's pretty easy to search their extensions, so it's almost like you're not working, except you are.  To help you out, copy and paste this to put into your search box          spell          that should get you some results ;)
