Tiny USB Office: Floppy office portable apps suite outgrows its disk

Friday, April 4, 2008



Like the idea of carrying a portable office suite on your USB flash drive, but think that OpenOffice.org and even smaller applications like AbiWord take up too much space? Tiny USB Office provides a ton of useful applications, hold the bloat.

Tiny USB Office started its life as "Floppy Office," an application suite with a footprint so small that it could fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk. You know, if you happen to have one lying around. But the developers have packed so many features into the latest release that there was no way to keep the suite that small. No, Tiny USB Office now takes up a whopping 2.4MB.

Here are a few of the applications included int he suite:
  • CSVed - Database application
  • NPopUK - Email Cleint
  • FTP Wanderer - FTP client
  • Spread32 - Spreadsheet application
  • Kpad - Word processor
  • 100 Zipper - File compression utility
  • PDF Producer - PDF creator
  • DScrypt - Data Encryption
And the list goes on. As you'd probably expect, these applications are missing some of the bells and whistles you'll find from Microsoft Office or OpenOffice.org. But the price is right. Tiny USB Office is free, and we're betting you've got at least 2.5MB to spare on your flash drive.
