GPG keys and removable media

[minnigerode]

You can also keep it on one of those USB ram disks.  Disk on key
has 16,32, and 64 meg ones.  I've had a 32meg one
for about 6 months. Don't use it much, but occasionally it's
really nice to have around.  Typically you can just plug it
in and if you have the automounter set up it'll be available.

Also the compact flash - usb things work nicely too.
