that's a fair comment. and it's true, it can become a bit unwieldy. I'm just looking at the number of characters entered in each case: PIN: 4, password:8+ > I suppose I could use > the same one everywhere but system imposed password cycling usually > stuffs up that idea. you get used to it, especially when it becomes a standard thing to do (hotmail/GMail accounts, etc). One way around could be variations on a theme, although I did have trouble logging in to GMail from an internet cafe in Switzerland a few years ago - I just couldn't find the characters I use on the keyboard! > I'm also approaching this from a kids point of > view, hence my original example.

Kids are a lot more "NET savvy" than we think (or that parents feel comfortable with) not knocking your (valid) points, Stephen. just adding to the discourse. cheers barry.b --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
