Will PGO work if I copy the folder to a USB Pen Drive, or would I have to do more than that to get it to work?

Or is it impossible to do that?

I haven't tried it, but it would be nice to be able to use it on a trip without having to lug a laptop with me. Just plug it into someone's PC and navigate to the executable, then run it from there. It would be nice to be able to do that.

Hi Donald,

One way to find out...

The only thing I would say is that the ygroups.mdb database which holds the messages can get very big. If you're using it on the pendrive just to get new messages make a clean install on the pendrive and don't copy over your old ygroups.mdb file from your main computer.

I don't know about you but my pendrive takes about 3 minutes to copy over a 1 GB file. If your database was that big I imagine it'd take 3 minutes for PGO to open. I think it would still work but you'd be well bored by the time it started.

Cheers,

Wilson.
