MCI Mail (remember them?) must have had a Hiwaiian writing their security
stuff.  Their pasword generator gave you an 8 character password of
alternating vowels and consonants, with an initial consonant.  Ones I
remember were like

	punolemu
	vosonori
	memulamo

I probably had a dozen of them at one time or another, and every one was
like that.  I had to get them changed from time to time, since I was using
them in training classes and for software testing, and MCI charged by the
character in your messages.  

In the classes I'd always joke that "My password is 'damfino' - that way I
can answer honestly when someone asks, yet seem to be evading them."
