I bet that person was glad you were the one who found it! Who knows what someone else may have done with it. I use TrueCrypt on my work USB drive as well as my work laptop. I have yet to use it on a personal USB drive, but haven’t put anything crucial on it yet either.

like that last part, the company that gives away free stuff all summer, lol. But it’s true. Eberly Systems has been very generous to its blog contestants and I’ve only seen that generosity grow.

say what?? I never heard about this. To me that doesn’t seem like a smart business move for Intel. I would agree that McCafee hasn’t produced anything worth blogging about in awhile. My top choices would be Webroot, Kaspersky, and Norton (Norton has regained my respect in it’s latest versions).

StarCraft II is one game I would like to own. I wonder if it’ll be available on Stream.
