Sure! I use the key stored in the drive only on computers at work. At home I store a copy of the key in the hard drive. Moreover yes, I have a revocation certificate. > For $20, you can't go wrong.

Sure an OpenPGP card is just a standard smartcard with special elementary files in its filesystem. Could I make my own OpenPGP card from a common smartcard given I know its administrative codes? If applets are involved probably it could also be loaded in any card supporting Java.
