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?
I don't know about preventing them from being able to format it, but what about making an encrypted disk image on the drive?
Disk Utility will let you customize the size, so just play with it until you get one that is as big as will fit on the jump drive.
Just a thought.
