	The whole idea of passwords is a kludge anyway, propagated by
people trying to cover up fundamental flaws in system design.  In 16 years
we can all go out and buy HAL-9000's with true voice/face recognition
built-in.  Until then, I guess we'll just have to live with what we have
now.

	BTW, anybody know if you can run 4.17 bsd on a HAL-9000 with only
2 Terra-bytes of nuero-RAM?  Also, anybody know if they *finally* have a
good Fortran math library? :-)
