Using your birth date as your password is pretty lame. Just about as lame as hitting on some tech support gal

You do realize that you gave us your username already, and told us that your password is a date between 4/20 and 4/29?

If I ever need free dial up, I can get it from earthlink

I wonder is that is the old PSI tech support center just south of Harrisburg? A friend of mine worked there when they first opened that office. Small world.
