   I might like to use it from a laptop that I carry around, and from a   
   desktop at another location.  I guess I can delegate the laptop as my   
   "home".  I usually have the laptop with me wherever I go anyway.   
      
   I wouldn't want to store keys on a USB though. I lost a USB (fell off my   
   keychain!) last year.  Among other files, I had an MS Access database   
   copy on it, and lo an behold, a resourceful person actually explored the   
   details and extracted credit card info from the .accdb file.  I noticed   
   the unusual charges pretty much right away, but all was taken care of well.   
      
   Meanwhile, I found a PGP app for my Blackberry. Getting the secret keys   
   to it in a secure way are a bit tricky though.   But once done, I should   
   be fine for several years.

   It is absolutely amazing that a simple add-on can introduce a nice new   
   feature to TB.   
      
   I am having trouble signing this message!  Enigmail is sending me in a loop!
