It's a good question. I would think that the answer - why full disk encryption isn't more widespread - absolutely has to do with the cost. The software itself can approach 10 - 15 percent of the cost of the notebook, plus the added labor of installation, configuration, administration, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
