I think the time isn't that far away when everyone who wants to be
online fulltime will be, like cablemodem and dsl users are now. So
it wouldn't be a bad idea to get used to decent passwords. That's
only part of the story though of course.
An easy trick for making a password that's hard to guess but easy
to remember is to use the first letter of each word in the first
line of a song you know well. Maybe add your favorite number at
the end or start. Course if you're a burnt-out 60's druggie then
it's pretty easy to guess that the song is Stairway to Heaven :)
