Another  word on passwords.  Don't use a name spelled backward.   The
dictionary attacks will find those too.  A word in another  language is also
no good.  A lot of people will try to be smart by  substituting a "3" for an
"E" or a "1" for and "I", etc.  The programs  also look for this
substitution.  It is best to have a minimum of  eight characters and a
mixture of letters, numbers and special characters  (@#$$%^).  Everything
else has been covered pretty  well.


and don't "click" on anyy of those many emails we regularly receive - aka  
'Nigerian' ffers. Sometimes those are mini-programs to obtain your password  
(whenever changed), without your knowledge.
