Don't be ashamed. I think this has bitten a lot of people in the past (yeah I'm
one of them). For me the word `anonymous' is really difficult to type, and in
the password prompt with echo disable I often type it wrong (I'm a really bad
touch typist).

It would be great if you guys can replace the CVS checkout instruction in the
slime homepage with this one-liner

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous at common-lisp.net:/project/slime/cvsroot
checkout slime

This way people can just copy with the mouse and paste it into the terminal.
