I use this and it really works.  Even 'GIMP' a photo editor.

Its all free and all you need to have is a flash drive large enough to hold the applications you want. Typically a 1gb flash/thumb drive should be OK for the essentials. More drive space always helps if you want to store your pictures there too.

Extremely useful tools thanks, openoffice.org has given me chills in the past though!

Please use at your own risk ( as with any thing else I recommend,    ), but I've been using this for about two months now and no problems for me so far...

Have you tried Google Docs?  Don't even have to install anything, other than a web browser, courtesy M.Soft or Mac..you probably have one installed on your computer the minute you bought it.
