Was Toads-Internet Security

[Travis Martin]

I don't suppose you can be too careful, but I would mention that what
we call cell phones haven't been for several years. The old analog
cellular technology is almost completely obsolete; Sprint, Verizon,
etc all use digitally encoded spread-spectrum frequency hopping
technology that is extremely difficult to intercept. They went to it
not so much for security as for increasing efficiency many
fold...that's why cell phones are so cheap now that every junior high
kid has one. But I wouldn't begin to tell you what your level of
comfort should be.

There are also some extremely good data encryption packages out there
that you might look in to...PGP (pretty good privacy) comes to mind.
I've never had to concern myself with it since nothing I'm doing is
particularly sensitive.

Travis (the Newell guy...but I was looking hard at the 86 PT40 that
Ryan got; great coach...love them cruisairs!)
