Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

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.

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.

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

No. I haven't decided on a Mac app yet. I'd love some way to synch between Mac, PC, and phone, but that's a pipe dream and a half.
