Here are the proggies listed. Good call on the "partly OT," Frank! Some
are not entirely "free..." caveat emptor.

This uncomplicated word processor is small enough to fit on a portable
USB drive.
[note: positioned as a wordpad replacement. The "plus" ($) version
"remembers a document's print settings including page margins, paper
size, portrait/landscape, header & footer settings, etc." quasi-
crippleware?]
AirDefense Personal
This security program alerts you if you connect your PC to a potentially
unsafe network.
[note: moderately invasive registerware, no support]
BeInSync
Make sure you always have access to your critical files and folders with
this remote-access tool.
[note: 30-day full-feature, aftewards crippleware]
Avvenu
This free remote-access and file-sharing service provides access to
files and folders from any Internet-connected PC, PDA, or cell phone.
[note: service. basic is free & uses your computer's storage & internet
connection. "Plus" ($) version stores your files on their servers.]
FolderShare
Automatically sync files and folders between multiple computers and
easily share data with colleagues and friends.
[note: y.a. service. Microsoft has acquired FolderShare and says that
the service will remain free]
How Foldershare works:
-Set up an account and "folder" on their server
-dump your data in the folder
-setup devices to sync
-invite others (via email address) to share]
