Goodbye Laptop! Hello Portable Firefox Browser!

YO! Baby Boomer Online News, WHY are YOU polling MY RSS Feed from my post at Goodbye Laptop! Hello Portable Firefox Browser?

This mobile stuff just keeps getting better and better. Ok, so some of you already know about most of this stuff, but I didn’t. Upgrading to a Blackberry has opened up a whole new mobile world for me. While surfing blogs about mobile technology I discovered Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition on a post at Web Worker Daily. Perfect!

I KNEW I’d find another good use for the 1GB Mini SD card that came already in my Blackberry! See, I replaced that one with a SanDisk 8GB microSDHC Card (SDSDQ-8192, Bulk Package) so the 1GB is free for the taking now and the portable edition of Firefox, among other things, is going to take it and cruise around in my shiny thumb drive.

So what’s the point of the portable edition of Firefox? Well, I’ve got tons of Firefox plugins, links, etc. that aren’t available when I use another computer. Yes, I have an iGoogle page full of links, calendars, gadgets and other stuff, but that’s nothing like actually having your own personalized browser available most anyplace you go.

The laptop is moving into a part time position as I’ll only need it mainly for more secure purposes now and then. With the help of gotomypc.com, I’ve already been able to cut down on lugging the laptop along to some business appointments. My shoulder is much happier these days. Now to get the kitchen sink out of my purse.

Hmmm…looking over at my Digsby Buddy List (thank you, Heidi!) and wondering if it’s possible for it to ride along on my thumb drive with the portable edition of Firefox? My Blackberry takes care of all communication, but that’s a thought to consider for those without a BB. Making a note to look into it.
