This application suite has become absolutely essential for me. Basically you install this suite to your USB drive (I got a 2GB on sale at CompUSA). Plug it into any USB port and run the programs from the USB drive itself. It contains a launcher application which runs in the toolbar, and whatever other stuff you want to add.
Applications include: Portable Firefox, which saves your extensions and bookmarks; OpenOffice.org, with Writer, Calc, Math, and Impress, for those times when you need to use PowerPoint on a PC that doesn't have it*; 7-Zip, a zip utility that can compress and password protect your files on the drive; and VLC Portable, the best all-around media player for all file types, to use as a portable jukebox.
So basically you can have a portable functioning desktop environment for any PC you go to, from work, to school, to home, to laptop. Great to keep your surfing habits private, since it all runs from your USB drive. I've found this thing to be completely irreplaceable.
Best news: It's all free.
