I have to say thanks to tomasino for his help in getting 
started with gpg. I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right, 
but we were able to exchange keys and a message. I don't 
know why I've never used gpg for anything beyond locally 
encrypted files for personal use, but it was fun to try out.

As we're getting unpacked, I'm having to make technology 
decisions. I just don't have the space right now for all of 
my retro gear and hobby projects. In fact, I don't really 
have space for any of that stuff, but I'm having a hard time 
letting it go. I do have a palm pilot and a dana alphasmart 
out right now, and I think I could make room for them. Plus, 
they can be used for writing, so they're justifiable.
