IIRC, not too long ago someone on this list reported being able to install 
EAGLE on a thumbdrive.

The Total Uninstaller is awesome, I've been wishing for something like this, 
for a long time. I hate it when apps leave stuff behind.

BTW, do you know by any chance, if (and I don't mean to suggest anything 
illegal (the thought just popped into my mind out of the blue (sorry))) the 
TU can be used to circumvent certain programs' protection, for example --  
could it allow you to use a limited 30-day demo *indefinitely*, by 
reinstalling said demo once a month?

Thanks!
