I don't rememeber my password, my fingers do. Which means, that when you come off a plane with your BIOS passwd protected laptop that you had been using fine for quite some time on the plane and at the airport, and you develop a massive headache, then the headache goes away, and you plug in, and try to remember your password, because your fingers are getting it wrong, well, no good happens. So you try to log in to your home institution, thinking that maybe the BIOS absorbed a few too many cosmic rays, and start panicking, because none of the passwords you have used in the past 5 years works. Eventually, let the pain in your head subside, and find out that that headache simply caused your brain to forget that you changed passwords about a month back, and somehow your fingers aren't remembering for the time being :) -- TimC -- http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/staff/tconnors/ "Does bacteria culture in coffee cup qualify as pet?
