If you search google for "bootable jump drive", you'll get lots of hits.

Nope, I haven't tried it. <bg

I've been interested in the same thing for some time and have run in to all
the same problems as described above here with Excel. Some old programs I
use, like Paint Shop Pro 7 can be done that way, and it's real handy to have
with you when you need it.........now I'm looking in to seeing if I can put a
whole Operating System on a Jump Drive to actually boot from it, and then
maybe Office could be put there too.....anybody seen/heard of doing that?
For me, that would be the untimate.

Here's a new one.

A colleague just asked me if Excel could be installed on a USB keyfob.

My gut says no but I'm curious to hear from others. Storage space wouldn't
be the issue (it's a 2 gb keyfob). I've never heard of applications being
run off USB storage devices though.

Thoughts?
