Calypso and Thread, I was chatting with an employee of a major high tech company today who came to service some electronics equipment at work.

We were chatting and he was showing me some GPS software he had loaded on his WinCE handheld. He pulled some stuff out of his bag of tricks. One was a 20 MB flash memory card and another looked like one of those $2.50 calculators you buy at Walgreens. It said "SecurID" on it and he said he used it to get through the firewall at the home office.

By golly, it looks alot like the concept behind that little calculator that my wife got from here bank in Sweden (duh).

He has used his so much that there were deep indentations on the keypad. I asked how long he had it and he said, "Well, quite a few years now."

Now I have seen two of these devices in the course of two weeks. That makes me a stupid lay person who is only a couple years behind the curve.

Are we all going to be carrying these things around soon?
When do I get mine?
