I, too, discovered U3 recently. I thought that I was just getting a 2GB USB drive, but it showed its U3 side when I plugged it into my notebook computer running Windows. It came just in time, since some of the office outposts that I need to use right now have only Windows machines with an uneven choice of software. I have seen nothing about developing software for this system, but Mozilla seems to be building its products for U3, so it must not be a big secret. I add one more vote to the proposal that a U3 build of gnumeric be considered. --RTBumby _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
