I wanted to take a moment and give some recognition to the software team at Mozilla.com, makers of popular free internet utilities like Firebird (web-browser), and Thunderbird (email-client). Several months ago I discovered a Thunderbird add-on called "Lightning". What a great extension to an already great tool! Lightning adds a calendar and task list to Thunderbird. While this might not seem revolutionary...just wait....there's more. Thanks to PortableApps.com...Thunderbird & Lightning can be installed on a USB thumb-drive...making it easily portable (no synch required). Who says you can't take it with you? I work on several PCs, laptops, servers (and even a Mac) during the week...and I travel a fair amount. Having my address-book, multiple email inboxes & outboxes, and now calendar and task list portable...is really great. Many thanks to Mozilla for making that part of my life much simpler.
