I was thinking of both, maybeperhapsalittlebit. Securing stuff so I can get
it again if my MP goes astray, and also securing it from abuse and
illegitimate access.
I understand that there are some packages that offer various security
measures, but not all are secure, and not all safe to use. Plus I'd hate to
hafta log in every time I wake Newtie from sleep, that's really impair the
experience when I use it for reading ebooks. Or would you want to log in to
a book for every other chapter? I want to turn the box on, and presto,
there goes. I'd suffer a log-in after a reboot, but not on turning on.
Still I want my data secured.
So how do y'all handle this on your Newtons? What features do any of the
security measures you employ offer?
DJV.
