So I bought this microsoft finger print password reader

[Cleo]

They have fingerprint readers for the Mac too so I really didn't see this as a Mac versus PC thing or anything like that. I just don't see why having something on your laptop that enters your passwords for you by having to rub a finger is any better then having an app on your drive that you enter your master password in once per login is better. It seems like more of a hassle to me actually.

You asked what happens in you move to another computer. Not sure about the finger reader thing but my laptop users a ling called keychain and it stores its database in ~/Library/keychains/keychainname so it moves with your home directory.

I do think that Macs have an advantage now that they are *nix based. Right now I've got Imageready processing files. Rsync creating a mirror of FoxyAngel to a local disk image, and a ton of other crap going on.

It's been many years since I've had to restart due to a crash or something like that. Macs just work.
