For all who think that Skype is the next best thing to actually being there, there’s now Skype Portable that can be installed on a USB drive. By now it is commonly known that Skype can be used for both video and audio calls, either between two computers or from computer to phone. In the Portable Apps format, Skype can be copied on to a USB drive to be opened on any computer, including those that don’t have the original Skype program installed. The beauty of the Portable Apps version is that you can access your own program settings and data from anywhere using a device such as a USB drive with the Skype portable version on it.
