Certainly -- I have to remind myself that people do still store data on 
floppies.
For me, floppies do an excellent job of encrypting my data all by themselves.  
However, I have yet to figure out the decryption algorithm.

I used the Zip drive's password features a lot under Windows/MacOS, so my 
personal evil plan was to start GBDE-ing my Zip disks. :-)
