[HOT] HOT stick (Portable Apps) for Training/Workshops

[Spike]

Good idea!

We had a similar idea on the CrisisCommons wiki - the "CrisisCamp on a 
stick"(http://wiki.crisiscommons.eu/wiki/CrisisCamp_on_a_stick) - but 
like a lot of things CC related, this is in need of updating (Firefox 
3.6.10? Good grief!! :) ).
