And if you use non-standard characters, such as the accented "e"s in
French/Spanish/etc. you're (almost) immune...many of the script kiddie tools
only let you use English alpha and numeric character sets. I personally try
to toss a Chr(165) Ñ into passwords wherever possible (menaing where I'll
remember I've done it!).

Note that I said "almost" immune... :-)
