Another Way Beside Encrypted E-mail

[Gear Monster]

In talking to several mods lately, most have recommended that I open an encrypted e-mail account to interact with other board memebers. i.e. sources. That would be great if I could. However, I've tried several times to open one and my computer locks up when it gets to the pass phrase portion. I later found out that its because I'm working from a mac and not a pc. Anyway, does anyone know of another way to interact with board members, that's still safe? I'm currently using ICQ.

you can send e-mails using a PGP key... its as safe as an elite/hush account. Forget about ICQ, IRC and all these shit. So easy to hack....

By the way if you use a MAC why dont you get Softwindows or Soft PC so you could use windows 2000/ME from your mac just like any PC....

Damn, that's a good idea. But can I engage and disengage it whenever I want to use my design programs. Because this is my office computer......

yes you can switch from one OS to another one....

PGP key is an encryption key (public key that you give to people, and a private for you). The key is use to decrypt your message.

How Do I Go About Using A PGP Key

I'm going with this because I don't think the switching my OS will be feasable.
