I've just discovered "Google Keep." I'm not saying it solves any of the woes you're mentioning, I just put it out there as an alternative. I like it, but I admit I'm deliberately not trusting it with important stuff, just my grocery list. I'd also argue that any data you store on a remote server in unencrypted form is inevitably subject to occasional human eyeballs. A classic example is a sysadmin trying to fix a busted mail spool: sometimes you just have to look at the data. So I'm not sure how much their policy-based admission of this fact actually changes the reality. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ [email protected] --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
