You're probably right although that would presuppose I believed in faith 
which as I say I don't so it'd never happen. What would more appropriate 
is "If Pete went to a church I'd have a heart attack"

Yeah saw that, pretty nifty idea actually.
I'd heard about this option a few months back seems pretty sensible if 
you want to "Let someone have a go" theres nothing like having a play.
Come on hands up all those that have gone into PC world and started 
messing with the Mac's :-D

Hm not sure thats a good idea although the concept is cool. I'm always 
wary of encrypted folders and file systems I've heard grown men cry when 
they've locked themselves out. Tying the pw to your login sounds a bit 
defeatist my advice is use totally different pw'ds for everything if one 
is compromised the rest are potentially safe, with the stated method if 
the moron sat next to you gets your login pw they also have access to 
your encrypted folder..

steaming cow dung ;-)

Nice but I want a Linux installed on a USB that when I plug it into a

Don't give up you was doing so well, I was all ready to delete ArchLinux 
and then you went and dropped the ball :-)
