| I agree with Bob, JP, and Mark, though I'll note that these days, it's
| reasonably secure to write down all your passwords into an encrypting
| password safe on your {PDA,cellphone,PC}, as long as that password safe
| is itself of a reasonable level of security (good enough encryption,
| scrubs ram and swap, etc).

I keep a bunch of passwords for routers, customer machines, and
other places in a file that I open with 'vi -x'.
