I uploaded MacPGP to my powerbook, and used it to generate a key pair. The user interface is easier than the Unix user interface, so I have no problem with that, but I do have a big problem with speed. It expects me to type in my pass phrase at about 20 words per minute. It beeps me if I type it faster than that. This makes it too annoying to be used regularly. It should be able to accept full-speed typing on a powerbook 100. I know that a 100 is not a very fast machine, but still, this is just basic keyboard input. My powerbook is about as secure as you can get (it's with me close to 24 hours a day and probably emits very little radiation and it's not on any kind of net), so ideally it would be my main crypto machine, but I don't want to type my pass phrase at 20wpm, so for now I'll stick with the IBM RS/6000 I normally use PGP on, despite its much weaker security. The other speed problem is key generation. This is very slow. Maybe I am spoiled by the RS/6000, which is extremely fast, but I still feel like it should be faster. Also, it does not allow itself to be backrounded properly under system 7 during key generation. However, I must say that I am glad that Fiedorowicz and others are working on this port. It's a good start. e
