My first userid (on the old 1900) was "BGQ".  There was no password, since it
was a matter of punched-cards handed to Valerie, who knew everyone by sight.

My second userid (on an HP 2100 with TATSB locked down on it-- Terminal Access
Time-Shared BASIC) was "B229" and the password <looks over shoulder? was
"miniandmax", after two dogs back home on another continent.  (I don't think
that displaying the password here compromizes anything.)

My third userid (on a Harris Semiconductor S-125B running the Vulcan OS) was
"B229BGQ" and I can't remember the password.

Needless to say, these userids were assigned to me by a SysAdmin with NO
IMAGINATION.  When I took up my first job, the SysAdmin asked me what userid I
wanted.  Since I'd been using it for years, I asked for "B229BGQ" and he
_point_blank_refused_!  Then he forced me to use "FRODO" instead!  :-/

Why are we talking about this ancient, and un-interesting historical trivia?
