That's the third meaning in my list, with "USB drive" replacing 
"CD-ROM"; I'd forgotten about USB drives (for which there's no excuse, 
given that I'm thinking about using USB drives as a replacement for Zip 
drives for my Quicken backups, and had been thinking of some other USB 
drive applications as well).

Unfortunately, "portable" is becoming even more of an overloaded term 
than it already was. :-)
