Another way to put a desktop in your pocket

My SeniorNet colleague, Sol Libes, has alerted me to another program that allows for an operating system on a flash drive. This one is called “Live PC Engine” and is described here. The site says:

LivePCs™ are virtual PCs that you can create and share just as you can share the rest of your digital life (photos, music, videos, etc..) A LivePC contains everything needed to run a virtual computer — an operating system and a bunch of applications. You can create and share your own LivePCs, or use the public LivePCs created by others in our BetaGarage™. You can use LivePCs on your desktop, or you can take them with you everywhere on a portable USB drive.

I have downloaded the software but I haven’t had time to try it out. (If this keeps up, I’m gong to need more flash drives.) It will be interesting to compare it with the MojoPac software that I previously tried.
