I'm going to stick with 8.6 for as long as i can. =)
I'm not even going to *think* about OS 10 on my 2400!

PGP. It will let you encrypt any file right in the finder via a quick
passkey system. The encryption is pretty damn strong and it won't
bugger up your system at an OS level like so many of the MacOS
security products do. I think it is probably the best *file* level
security you can buy on any platform. Most other security products
work on making *access* to files difficult. PGP works on the files
themselves. The copy I have came with Eudora (was it v 3 or v 4 ?) as
a freebie.
