Micah: The Diceware method is nice, but it would be pretty annoying in my cube at the office when I'm generating passwords for 85 system accounts to connect to my databases. LOL! - Anthony K. Valley ©

hehe. Anthony, "bucket of ice" is the best typo of the day (my own are usually dull, but numerous). After all the dice rolls, putting the wrist on ice is a good idea - so you were thinking ahead =) - Micah
