And Speaking Of Security Software...
I'm curious about the specific security software you use for storing all of your passwords, software keys and other secret stuff. There are several great e-wallet programs out there, and they all seem kinda similar, so I'd like to know how you decided which one to buy. And, if you've got ideas for how these e-wallet programs can be improved, be sure to post that, too.
UPDATE: Our poll got messed up somehow, so we'll have to re-do it in a new post (we can't reset the current poll).

I love these polls! They get more comprehensive all the time. Only one niggle: When used as a wildcard, one only needs one * to cover all possibilities.
Maybe you meant the ? or $ 
Just joking. :lol:

I continue to use eWallet just for historic reasons. I know there are better apps out there; I just wish there was an app that would migrate data from one to the other...
Am also beta testing RoboForm PPC client which syncs to its PC brother (http://www.roboform.com/wince.html). I can easily foresee the day when RoboForm is used for all my net related password due to its form filling capabilities on the PC and a wallet for the rest of my secure data.

I agree, I also use eWallet and would never be bothered to re-enter all the data.

I've looked at the options and decided to stay with my Pocket Excel sheet encrypted with Resco Explorer. Already had Resco and Excel and most of the 'wallets' aren't cheap.

One of the things I've oftened wondered about on all or these super encrypted, 128 bit...da da da security programs. Isn't the key to all of this your password ? It seems as though no matter how strong any of these programs are if you use your first name for a password, for example, the application still starts up. Am I wrong in thinking that all of this is pure hype, is an Excel spreadsheet password protection any better than Resco or Flexwallet or anything else if you have an easy to figure out password ?

I put that question to this d.board when I was contemplating buying Resco's Explorer. It has great file explorer features and file encryption is just one of them.
A couple of respondents said an Excel password could be broken if I gave them my laptop or PPC and 30 minutes time. So I don't even use Excel's password function. I -encrypt- the Excel sheet via Resco and use a non-obvious password. The file actually disappears from the file list within Excel. It's only accessible through Resco Explorer, and the password is required to get it open.
