A couple days ago my bank gave me a small blue gizmo with a button and an LCD display. Every time I press the button, a six digit number, always different, is displayed. They tell me it's a One Time Password generator.
Why this matters to me is that with this gizmo I can access my bank account online without using the stupid, clumsy and Windows-only cryptographic software I was forced to use before.
What it all comes down to is the fact that I have no use for Windows anymore, since this was the only Windows application I couldn't absolutely do without. My Intel PC is now sitting idly on my desktop, but it could be more useful as a doorstop. That's what it'll end up being as soon as I can put a brand new iMac G5 on my desktop.
