There is a name for that one.  It gave the name and refused it.  I 
tried, 1234321.  I tried some typical family name combo's.  I got angry 
at the machine, and wrote something that befitted my temperament, and it 
was accepted.  I really would like to have 'em' back.  She is a sweet 
think I can never forget.  Every time I typed it in I felt good.  I am 
sure you would laugh if I told you my new password.  On one side of my 
life I am considered almost a genius. On the other usually people just 
scratch their head.  It takes a lot for me to get a temper.  I can't get 
to the point of being abused where I can't forgive.  Give me a complex 
project and no guidance you will marvel at the result.  Give me a 
complex project with conditions I can't even get it started.  Release me 
from the conditions and I can finish it with lightning speed.

Lots of people love me for the way I am, later the same people don't 
like me for the selfsame reasons.  I am totally predictable because I 
don't vary.  I would die before I would break my word.  Same rather than 
be 5 minutes late.  It doesn't happen often, but when I am unable to 
meet the fullness of a commitment, I am usually the only one punishing 
me.  I still think you guys like me even though you had to get 
exasperated with this last project.  I think it is the only challenge 
that did not get the desired result.  And if I find that what I want to 
do can not do it, I will still do it.

Have you ever seen a wolverine attach itself to something.  You might as 
well kill it and you will still have to dismember it to get its jaws to 
release.  That is me, when I want something.  I will pay any price, 
suffer any sacrifice.  Shoot it has taken me most of 15 years to get 
where I am in computers, and I am breaking through right now, even I 
suspect now that it is impossible.  I don't want you to give up on me; 
you have provided me with years of joy in a few days.  I would hate to 
lose that.

Cudos, Cheers, Ciao Bello, and Cordially,  Friend,
