[Engadget] Here‚Äôs what we‚Äôre putting on our USB drive before we leave for Tofurky Day…
As the designated ‘computer fix it guy’ in the family, I really like the list of "must have" software for the USB Keychain for fixing computers this Thanksgiving. Some of the favorites (which funny enough, I’ve had to already install on 2 family members computers today): LavaSoft Ad-Aware, AVG AntiVirus and Skype.
Check out an earlier thread on Furrygoat for more ideas, and as always, post any other ideas (because, without a doubt, I’ll end up doing more computer repair this week).

How about portable Firefox (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4424) and portable Thunderbird (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4423)?
