Portable Tools that you can carry around on a USB
In recent months there has been an increasing output of free tools that can be run from a USB device. What this gives you the ability to do is carry around your PC tools with you. Put yourself in situation where you are out of the office, but need to make an amendment to a document. You have access to a PC/Laptop but no access to the application that can edit the document. By carrying a usb, with a free version of the portable application, you can simply run the application from the USB, make your change to the document and away you go.
Of course this means that the document would need to be in the same or compatible format as the portable tool, however most applications such as this are cross compatible nowadays.
