Just a little note about passwords (not that it really belongs
in this newsgroup, but what the hay.).  The best passwords
are ones that aren't real words in any language.  It's okay if they
are pronounceable somehow, but they should never be written
down anywhere.  A former password of mine (I'll never use 
it as a PW again, because I decided I liked it better as
my enabled-prompt on TOPS-20) is "Rhyndren."  When people
see it as my prompt, they say, "What is it???!!"  That's
the point, I think.  Even if our little mind has convinced
us that the real-word password we have chosen has no connection
to us and can't be guessed, it's possible that the mind (as
usual) is too close to itself to be objective.  So it goes.
