:)   But anyhow....

What amazes me is that organizations seem to think that having
authentication tokens is a) expensive and b) hard. 

Agreed :)
My "token" consists of a Java OTP calculator running on my Nokia 9500. A
hardware device with OTP thingy. And a remote site can even SMS me a
one-time-code onto the phone which I can use for login. Try *that* with
a standard keyfob token!  ;)

Cheers,
Frank
