Use 6 to 8 letters, mix upper and lower case, mix in digits and puncutation. Use two words together with a punctuation mark, like * or $ or _ between. Deliberately mispell one or both of the words. Make sure whatever you use isn't in the dictionary. If you use your name, leave out vowels and replace some of the other letters with their ascii encodings. Other folk will have suggestions that are perhaps better. These work for me. --David ------------------------------------------------------------------- Linux: Because I want to *get there* today.
