Kinda odd that he writes this nice little tutorial on how to encrypt your data and ends up simply with an encrypted image on the iPod where it does no one any good. He's missing the oh-so-critical bit about how to get the data back out of the image :O

Of course, there's probably nothing to it, and any idiot could figure it out, but you'd think an article about encryption would include decryption.

Double click on drive image. Type in password when prompt comes up.

No need to write that up.

Uhh ... how hard is double-clicking the image and then typing in your password?

You don't have to be a Linux user to figure it out. :-D
