Some years later when someone else bought us, I was amused to learn their helpdesk generally set password changes to 'changeme'. Wade. "Ah. One of the difficult questions."

Needless to say that person was fired soon after. I guess they got tired of doing registrations and installs over the helpdesk? As far as we knew, the customer who got assigned the name was not gay. I'd imagine they weren't too happy with the name they got assigned either? I am free now, to choose my own destiny.**
