SS SECURITY FOR THE MASSES

The LaCie Rugged Safe offers biometric authentication, is compatable with the lastest versions of Mac and Windows, boasts AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), and is shock-proof.  Designed by Neil Poulton, this hard drive has already won several awards, not to mention it has the same standard of security used by the U.S. government and worldwide organisations to protect critical documents.  I want one just for the sake of it.
