Essential Programs

[RevanFan]

I have a flash drive, on which I store the installers for many programs I deem "essential". By "essential", I mean I would install most or all of them on every computer I own.

ooooh .... you missed Nza's Editor 1.3 and Madden Amp 4.0

And Madden. I assume this is for every PC, Madden is more of a one PC thing..

For me, Madden is an every PC thing. Seriously, I've installed it on basically every PC I've had access to.

I have my Madden installer, along with the FF/FI XVI Mod and rogerjinx's roster, on a USB drive. I always have that USB drive. Always.

Sometimes if I go on vacation I'll bring my Xbox and Logitech controllers along, so I can game with some relatives...
