Or maintain a small 2GB harddrive
and dump the .exe there every time you update/install something

although, to be fair
it is easier to remember to do this with a HDD, and hard to lose!

This
and also, HDD you can replace your Firefox 10.03.6.4.567 with 10.03.6.4.568 so you always have an up-to-date one. Unless you use DVD-RW, which is officially the work of Alchemists.

i don't care
i'd rather keep my HDs tidy for other uses (ie audio recording, and mp3s)

is really useless for most purposes. And you dont' want to be accessing ancient HDDs too frequently or they die the death of dogs.
