Subject: In need of another Psion


Hi
For a few days I use happily using an Ericsson unit that someone sold me on the Digest.  That unit went away on Sunday when I was mugged in Buenos Aires.  I had the nerve of being distract while taking a picture of something interesting I can across.
Anyway I`ll be needing a new unit when I return home.  And yes it sucks not having it to organize and log my trip.
Someone from London whose name I forget had a unit.  Please let me know if it is still available.
Thanks, Todd

Hello everybody.

Ghost and a program that creates encrypted private disks (useful when travelling). There are good replacements for these programs that I have

tried but would have to install them on all PCs."

I am not an expert of Windows but Vista has a very decent partition function built-in. I created easily (FAT32) partition on an external drive that I use with both Windows and OS X (which does not like NTFS formatting) and I created an extra partition of an internal HDD on a laptop which double boots under Windoze Vista or Ubuntu 9.04. I can then easily mont the volume under both Windoze and Ubuntu and swap files very easily. Very basic stuff, but still it works fine.
