This may be of interest to those who pass out passwords for others to use. (Presumably we all can cope with our own passwords. {grin})MS uses alphanumeric characters in its Product ID codes (those strings of 5 groups of 5 characters each, 25 in all). I got a new product with a normal MS ID code but included in the paperwork was list of 12 characters MS never uses - EUL AOS IZN 105 - I assume to avoid customer misreading of the characters. It has been been fun to guess why any character causes a problem. Though MS always prints codes in upper case they may well consider that some people are bound to try lower case - and that presents the rationale for some of the 12.
OK, I can see the potential for confusion when scribbling eight of these (O/0, S/5, L/1/I, Z/2 -- though "2" isn't excluded). Any ideas for the other four (EUAN)? They don't spell "Apple"...
