S'funny.  Must run up the road to the old girl, who's 2nd user PS1 I
sorted out a couple of years ago and tell her that I didn't reallyb
manage to clear out the password and that the CMOS knew she was a nice
old lady and that I was just a well-wisher and it decided to give us
both the benefit of the doubt and let her use the machine.

I wish I could get my killfile working.
