low tech always beats high tech

"low tech always beats high tech" is a quote from an author I'm reading on Security issues - Bruce Schneier

He's got a point. How good is my router, firewall etc, when my laptop is stolen? All the data I've been keeping private is right there on the hard drive. hmm - seems like my phone and PDA have a lot of data too

One thing to consider would be to use a program to encrypt/decrypt all your stored data. That way if your computing device is ever lost or stolen (which is bad), at least your identity will not be.

I'll write more on this topic later if there is interest
Truecrypt 5.0 is out and it's free - The INQUIRER
