Thanks rp
fwiw her laptop and stick tend to carry papers and book chapters and presentations, not so much the personal paper type stuff. Not sure she would be interested in encrypting that ilk. The personal documents are a rarity and came about due to the odd circumstances surrounding the timing of my first class.
I get to find time and energy to rebuy materials for the second class coming up - this with the car on the fritz and me doing the kid thing morning and night. Wish me luck.
