thanks! its very useful. dont worry about starting a flame war... i 
think i already have :-}}

note that if your computer is stolen, TCPA doesnt protect any of your 
keys, because the theif will have the hardware chip in his hot little 
hands! the designers of TCPA and Palladium have actually admitted that 
TCPA is *not* going to increase computing security - all it does it 
increase 'trust' in the FBI's definition of the word - trust is where 
information can be leaked from bottom to top secret levels but never 
from top secret to bottom.
