           PRINT A MEMO ON PAPER, VERIFY IT YOURSELF (VISUALLY) (or your
           trusted secretary can do this, of course), AND DELIVER THAT PIECE
           OF PAPER, NOT AN ELECTRONIC VERSION!
 
    -  Once you've printed such a memo via a computer, immediately delete the
       online version.  Something that sensitive shouldn't be online unless
       you've got a super-secure system, and even then, why take the risk when
       retyping it, even if necessary, is so trivially easy?


This is not entirely true.... mail encryption IS available and is available
for EASY use also. Encryption cuts down on chances that a "cracker" who has
access to your account, can read your mail. Unless he/she has the key....
But that does not stop them from deleting the mail. Of course any good
"cracker" wouldn't tamper with mail, as to not leave any footprints....
But there ARE people out there to destruct, sooooo....       
	True the paper version is probably safer, but since you have
purchased that multimillion dollar machine, and you also have concern
for the environment, why not do it on the ole 'puter? You would have to shred
any paper memo that was to "personal' also.... Its all a hassle to be private.
