If I understand things correctly, all of these marvelous new ways of keeping
track of data files requires indexing the files. And the index is a weak point
for a hacker break-in to find exactly what he is looking for on your computer.

That cost factor thing is what I most often hear from folks looking

isn't the issue as much as the fear of switching.
