Encryption -- another football necessity

Truecrypt looks like an excellent solution to the need for encryption of files. The choices are quite flexible -- and it is free.

A football idea

Mojopac is a program ($50) that lets you install all your Windows software on a portable device (such as an iPOD). You can run your entire Windows environment at full speed. You can also toggle to the native Windows environment at any time.

This looks very interesting, especially as there are relatively inexpensive high-capacity USB devices.
