OpenPGP

OpenPGP (a.k.a. "PGP" or "Pretty Good Privacy") is a way to protect e-mail and files so they can't be spied on or forged by other people. Sending e-mail without scrambling is like sending a postcard: it's OK if you don't mind everyone taking a peek on the way by. Hopefully, encryption of e-mail will be as common as envelopes on letters someday. PGP has saved people's lives before: see letters from human rights groups for examples of why freely-available encryption is important, and "Why Use PGP?" for a bit more about why you should use encryption. If you want to know where to get PGP-compatible programs, contact me; I can give you some pointers.

Feel free to send me PGP e-mail; you don't need to ask first. If you already have an OpenPGP program, here's my public key information, which you can import to send me secure e-mail:

• My public key is in http://www.eggroll.com/~jimefaw/jimefaw-key.pub.asc
• If you want to make sure you have the right key: my key fingerprint is DBE4 9AB8 4997 6266 121B F6D3 47C0 4521 1444 381D
• Technical info you may not care about at all: my key's ID is 0x1444381D and there's a 1024-bit signing key (1444381D) and 1024-bit encryption key (0D0A38F0).

old computer media I can read

Some people have old disks. I have access to machines capable of reading the following types of disks (both current formats and old ones):

• Apple II (][, ][ Plus, IIe, IIc): 16-sector Disk ][ (140k), possibly 13-sector Disk ][ (112k)
• PC-compatible floppy: 3.5" DD (720k) or HD (1.44M); 5.25" SD, DD (360k), HD (1.2M)

I can read the following filesystems:

• Apple DOS 3.3 (and possibly DOS 3.1/3.2)
• Apple ProDOS (Apple II format previously called SOS on the Apple /// and later used by ProDOS 8, ProDOS 16, and GS/OS)
• BSD (FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD) UFS
• Linux ext2
• ISO-9660/High Sierra (the standard CD filesystem), including Linux Rock Ridge and Windows Joliet extentions
• MS-DOS/PC-DOS (inclduing Windows VFAT and FAT32)
• Microsoft NTFS
• Minix (includes many older Linux floppy disks)
• OS/2 HPFS
• tar (including GNU tar)
