Abstract: A system and method for electronic storage of data objects, including at least a first, designated foreground data storage device and at least a second, designated background data storage device, the data storage devices being connectable by way of at least one releasable connection, and an interface engine adapted to manage the transfer of data objects to and from the devices and also between at least two of the devices when the at least two devices are connected to each other, and to generate a logical stack of all the data objects stored in the system, including an index list of identifiers relating to the data objects, the index list being visible from any one of the designated data storage devices whether connected to another designated data storage device or not.

Abstract: There is disclosed a memory device that is releasably connectable to a computer, and which contains at least one applications software package and associated data. Upon connection to the computer, the applications software package runs directly from the device without being uploaded or installed on the computer. In this way, a user of the device may work on any compatible computer using his or her preferred applications software packages and data, without having to configure the computer or install any particular software or data.
