A couple of collections of software that have been circulating around the blogosphere.

Portable applications can be loaded onto a USB drive meaning they can be used wherever needed. This can mean having your usual tools at your fingertips and not worrying so much about compatibility of files.

“Portable Apps Suite™ is a collection of portable apps including a web browser, email client, web editor, office suite, word processor, calendar/scheduler, instant messaging client and FTP client, all preconfigured to work portably and be easy to back up. Just drop it on your portable device and you’re ready to go.”

Lifehacker Pack - this is a collection of productivity, communication, spyware protection, media, utilities, and web tools.

These could be good to explore with some LearnScope groups.
