pgp keys: where to store?
Its probably not the safest thing to store your PGP keys on your hard drive, because if you are hacked, they can be stolen, right? Or am I just being paranoid?
Any safe (and quick) places to store them?

I have a USB flash drive where all of my keys are stored. It's simple and it works.

I just keep mine on a floppy disk. One not labled that I keep with all my saved homework from school.

I keep mine on a post-it that I've laminated and taped to my monitor.
Oh, I also keep a couple of spares under my keyboard... just in case.
j/k...
I have a sony microvault USB flash key that is password protected and encrypted.
I also have them encrypted twice in my palm pilot... encrypted with YAPS (yet another password safe) and then that database is encrypted by the T3 using RC4 encryption... I also have "intrusion prevention" turned on... meaning... if I type in the password wrong 3 times it erases all encrypted data/databases on the T3. Since the backup of the database is also stored on my PC for hotsync... I have that encrypted using Microsoft's EFS.
I'm not sure exactly how strong m$'s EFS is... but nobody except for my account can access it and I use very strong passwords.

Ok, I just moved mine to a plain floppy (is that safe enough, or can I encrypt the floppy too? please fill me in with details), but now the pgp tray keeps complaining that it can't access the keys...should I not worry?
