Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Doesn't having floppy disks stand out these days?

Well yeah, there is that.

Yesterday I had to install some 13-year old software that came on two floppies. Had to hunt around for a computer with a floppy drive (I ended up using our database server's floppy drive).

Ann, that's a ferret.

I actually have some floppies in my office. That sounds like an actual use for them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like my software password vault on my phone. I'm not going to carry floppies around with me to keep my passwords handy, but my phone goes where I go.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

ita, which iphone password vault do you use? Between work & home, I can't keep track of all my passwords, and the iPhone seems a better option than a geek stick for the very reason you mention.

what software program do you use on your phone, ita?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't have an iPhone--I have a Nokia e61i running Symbian. I use the Epocware Handy Safe.

Ha! I saw "phone" and my brain read "iPhone". Funny that.

Apple owns your ass.

well, it's mutual. The joys of being a shareholder.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, I have Nokia as well. Handy Safe - does it have a mac desktop equivalent?
