[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 993500"] A quick quiz to see if you should be using File Vault: 1. Do you work for the CIA? 2. Are you a (religious public figure) who has a potentially criminal secret stored on your computer? 3. Do you enjoy deliberately slowing down your machine and risking losing everything simply because you're paranoid? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, turn on Filevault. Otherwise, leave it off. That goes for the software firewall as well. Better way to protect your laptop against theft: never leave it unattended in public. Better way to encrypt a few important and/or embarrassing files: encrypted disk image. [/QUOTE]
