This is a good idea.  I used it at one time, but ditched it because all of my
usernames and crap followed a certain pattern.  Probably one a whole lot of
people know about...

Reminds me more of NT.  Passport is kind of like that little tracking device
they implant into your brain that allows the Borg at Redmond to destroy you with

Once you go Unix, you won't go back.  Even if there aren't pretty pictures.

Mmm... yummy.  Fleisch...  /me chews on his arm.
