Do they live alone and don’t have to hide everything in a folder because there is no girlfriend / boyfriend snooping around ? 23% said that their secret folder was bigger than 10 gigabytes which is huge.

The remaining 40% have a secret folder with a size between 1 megabyte and 9999 megabytes. The best method to create and maintain a secret folder ? Use TrueCrypt. Believe me the next poll has nothing to do with the previous one, might be hard to believe I must admit. How often do you clean your computer, better: do you clean it at all ?

The answers are pretty self explanatory. You have the option between once a day, a week, a month, a year and never. I think I probably missed the case where users buy new hardware instead of cleaning the old – Believe me that happens. Maybe not when it comes to expensive hardware like flat screens but definitely when it comes to the keyboard.
