You're probably right that most people won't be able to cope with the types of 
passwords that my process generates.  I do use that sort of process with the 
systems I administer at work, and my users, though they complain about the 
complexity of the passwords, do find that the mnemonic clue -- the sentence 
-- helps them quite a bit.  Of course my office, while not full of hackers or 
crackers, is full of people who understand my paranoia and who are willing to 
play along.  ;-)

For outside folks who have occasional need to access our system, I do use a 
simple password generator which creates passwords like gras4mos and 
such-like.
