Brian:
I have a jumpdrive (unprotected) ... very handy, convenient ... my OS X PowerBook always mounts it, sometimes XP is iffy about whether it sees it or not (strange). But then all of you guys know of the quirks of Mr. Gates endeavors.
There are some USB jump drives that now have a thumbprint or fingerprint security

I think there are other brands entering the mix, too.

My first is in regards to my iPod. It has lately acquired a very
audible whirring noise. Not to be read as loud, but it is louder than
when I first bought it last summer. I posted this to the apple forums
but got little help on the issue there. One guy assumed i was using a
PC, despite the fact that my iBook was listed on my post as the
computer I used, and recommended I defragment the iPod, but have found
no material regarding this in the iPod help files or on the apple site.
Is this possible? Is this likely to be the problem? Should I just
ignore it? Is it even a problem?
Second is the issue of USB jump drives. The one I had was recently
stolen, so I lost it and all of the work, school and personal data I
had saved on it. I will be buying a new jump drive soon, so I thought
this: "I can make my iBook next to unusable to anyone who decides to
try to walk off with it, can i do the same with a USB jump drive?" All
I mean is, can I password protect the entire thing so that any person
who decides to take it for a walk cannot access ay of the files on it,
and can't format it as well?
