    Passwords

    While in retailing we used a coding system to put our cost on each price label. The system goes like this. First you come up with a word (or words) that contain 10 letters,none of which is repeated.Example "PATHFINDER". This substitutes for the numbers 1 through 0. If you wanted to code $75.98...
