I might like to use it from a laptop that I carry around, and from a
desktop at another location.  I guess I can delegate the laptop as my
"home".  I usually have the laptop with me wherever I go anyway.

I wouldn't want to store keys on a USB though. I lost a USB (fell off my
keychain!) last year.  Among other files, I had an MS Access database
copy on it, and lo an behold, a resourceful person actually explored the
details and extracted credit card info from the .accdb file.  I noticed
the unusual charges pretty much right away, but all was taken care of well.

Meanwhile, I found a PGP app for my Blackberry. Getting the secret keys
to it in a secure way are a bit tricky though.   But once done, I should
be fine for several years.

It is absolutely amazing that a simple add-on can introduce a nice new
feature to TB.

I am having trouble signing this message!  Enigmail is sending me in a loop!
