[OT] 1344 bit encryption

[Bill Vlahos]

If you are using Mac OS X 10.2.x (Jaguar) then you can create encrypted 
disk images using the built in Disk Copy program. Just create an 
encrypted disk image and it behaves like any drive. To use it just copy 
files to it.

If you are using Mac OS X 10.3.x (Panther) there is an even 
easier-to-use built in feature called FileVault which encrypts your 
entire home directory automatically once you turn it on.

Both of these are free and available now.

I believe all you need to do for VirtualPC is to have it point to a Mac 
volume which is encrypted to get your protection.
