Can you name an operating system in common use today that doesn't
suffer from this problem? I see you have a PGP key - are you running
it a system that's fully trustable? Confident that no trojan could
have snuck in and stolen your secret key when you weren't looking?
I'm not trying to be difficult; this is a real problem. And no one has
a good solution for consumer use. I think a Pilot is likely to be
better than my desktop PC.
