Security software?

[ffutures]

While I was at Orbital over the weekend I managed to lose my USB memory stick - fortunately it's been found, and should be back with me in a few days, but it prompted me to think about security issues. This time there aren't any serious problems, but in the future there might.

Basically, I want to give at least part of the drive some sort of password-only access; the snag is that it needs to be something that will work with Windows XP and Mac OS-X, and possibly Linux if I end up going that route. The software that came with the drive works for XP only, which isn't much help.

I don't need it to be totally uncrackable - I'm not worried about business rivals or spies reading the drive, more about e.g. someone seeing a draft letter that mentions them, or something of that sort.

Is there any simple way of doing this?

OT - But would you be interested in in a load of Laserdiscs for P&P only? As part of our move we're getting rid of our LD's that we have duplicated on DVD or BRD, and rather than take them down the dump, I wondered if you'd be interested?

I'd love to say yes, but I'm a bit short of space and my own get very little use. What genres are they?

I cna give actual titles - don't feel obliged to have all or nothing, if there's any you want, just have those.

Forest Gump - PAL
Star Trek Generations - NTSC
Titanic - NTSC
Stargate (The Original Movie) - PAL
Batman Forever - NTSC
The Mask - NTSC
Dracula - PAL
Apollo 13 - NTSC
Beauty & the Beast - NTSC
The Untouchables - PAL
Bad Boys - PAL
Independence Day - PAL

Thanks, but I already have about half of those, don't particularly want the others. Maybe give them to a charity shop? Oxfam bookstores take them, I think.

That's OK, I had a feeling you might do. Unfortunately they're the type of titles that anyone with a LD is already going to have them - the more desirable ones we're keeping.

Charity shop it shall be.
