I wrote a       quick program to do just that - but my passwords are too ridiculous -       never mind anyone figuring the login name and where it's being used.              --       "It would be a measureless disaster if Russian barbarism overlaid        the culture and independence of the ancient States of Europe."       Winston Churchill              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
