Martin, If you are looking for the even tougher passwords include lower case letters, upper case letters, digits, special chars ( ,},[,<,>, etc. ) *and* high characters ( �, �, etc. - use ALT + 3 digits on your keyboard ) in every one of your passwords.
Brute force checking when you include all four sets is factorially harder. If I'm not mistaken, most brute force scripts don't even check non-keyboard values in their routines (although nothing is stopping them but CPU power and a few lines of code). My $0.02...
