I removed the U3 system from the 512 using software from the online
site. I've left it on the 2G because I haven't decided whether I want it
or not. For instance, Thunderbird, Firefox and Roboform are available in
U3. Supposedly, it's a better way to run software off the thumbdrive
when one is traveling and has to use a public computer that doesn't have
the required software on it.
On the other hand, some public computer operators don't want the
public plugging things into their public computers -- and with a 2G
drive, maybe the space savings isn't worth the effort either. I just
haven't studied it sufficiently.
