I have!  And the little word "may" is merely a suggestion.  ;)


 WvV>  H:\myutils>> rando
 AA>> yZn=ZRG-

An 8-char series where each char can be [a-z]|[A-Z] = 52^8  
possible strings. Add the numbers [0-9] and the possibilities
climb to 62^8.  Throw in some special char options, and the  
number climbs even higher. That approach far surpasses the hex  
choice at 16^8.
