What's On Your Thumbdrive?
Broue Master asks: "Nowadays, we need to support not only people at the office, but friends, family, friends of the family, family of the friends... you name it! They all run Windows to a degree and there are many tools to help you when assisting. Personally, I have a thumb-drive with removable memory cards. One of them has a small bootable Linux, the other one is filled with ready to use Windows utilities (CPU-Z, Ultra-Edit32), DOS utilities I've been collecting over the years, and Unix-style utilities (ps.exe, kill.exe, and others) ported to Windows, without the need for a layer like Cygwin. I also have a copy of the install files for AVG, Spybot, Sygate and the likes. But, even though I think I have many great tools, I'm sure I do not know about a lot of great others to help diagnose and solve problem. So I ask you, what's on your thumb-drive?"
Who died and made you everyone's Windows support bitch? I can imagine how there's a perceived coolness factor of being able to whip out a copy of AVG or Firefox and install it on someone's PC for them, but ... why?
I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.
In what way is this insightful? It doesn't usefully answer the question and it basically looks like your post's entire purpose is to say "look at the shiny I have."
