Michael, I went to google.com and typed in password + program. Up came a
program that you could download to a floppy. It is a very small program. I
put the floppy in and guess what? There was my password plain as day. In
regular type. Just think what someone that worked for the Gov. could do with
that. My advice to them would be to get new passwords.
I just went there and did not find it. I hope for all our sakes they took it
off. You might search and find it. Good Luck.
Juanita
