Thaks for the additional information everybody. I believe that I still have every version of Ecco at home, as I was one of the early users in 1993. As a matter of fact, one of their slaes associates came to my office to talk about the multi-user capabilities of the program (I live and work near their original Arabesque offices). I have joined the Ecco_Pro user group, but to the best of my knowledge, it is not clear that the Extension will work on a USB drive on a host machine where you have no Administrative rights. It seems that the program still writes to the Registry, although it is not clear if that is a problem if you have no Admin rights.

I guess that I am tossed between buying a netbook and loading the software that I want, and going with a USB drive and portable applications. The good news is that I do not have any pressing deadline, so I can evaluate without pressure. I am still interested in IQ, but it just seems so daunting every time I open it up. Again, I am glad to not have to make any hurried decisions.
