The Ironkey flash drive ( https://www.ironkey.com/ ) was developed for the military. It features DOD standard encryption on the hardware level and a pre-installed version of firefox with a vpn tunnel provided by Ironkey itself. A.D.B.

I have a personal website that I built myself, by hand, from scratch. When I go looking for a hosting service, I look for someone who can provide the features I want to include on my site (guestbook, feedback, perhaps script access) but everyone these days is obsessed with Web 2.0 or whatever the catchphrase is now. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten my site set up the way I wanted it, working the way it was supposed to, only to have the people providing the service change some component that I used (i.e. the guestbook) so that it completely ruined the established look-and-feel of my website.

My school gets their student e-mail accounts through gMail, and I have no problem with that, but as far as I can tell, google sites only allows you to build cookie-cutter sites, based on a limited number of templates.

Services like Google's make everybody look the same. I don't want my website to look like the one the visitor just came from, or any website they may have visited elsewhere. I want them to remember it, and come back again and again.

The value of your system should be readily apparent to those who have a vested interest in standing out from the crowd.
