Just a quick (in more ways than one) thought on keyrings and removable
media. At first I was advised to keep my GPG keys, especially my private
key, on a floppy disk. They have adequate room, but I found it slowed
GPG down a lot vs. having the keys on the hard drive. What I did was use
a Zip drive instead. Lots more room, though that's not really an issue,
but also much faster access time- indiscernable from having it on the
hard drive. And, when I'm done, the Zip disk lives in a safe place until
next time.
