   Interesting concept.... What's the guarantee that some other machine   
   wouldn't generate an identical number by random...?   
      
    NB>> And maybe you'll still have some of the 15yo Glenlivet left...

   I thought you were going to try to save the 15yo.... turning out to be   
   too hard to ignore, is it...?   
      
    MK> Also I noticed a "The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve Scotch Whisky"   
    MK> edition that caught my eye back in September.  It was priced about 5   
    MK> dollars less than the 12yo.  Not a big saving but perhaps worthy of   
    MK> purchase for comparing and contrasting purposes.    
      
   Might be a disappointment like the Gold...  Apparently it doesn't have   
   an age listed either...?   
      
    MK> Then again I might break down and buy the more expensive Oban as I do

    MK> Battle of the Glen" calls out to me but is a tad pricey, even moreso   
    MK> than the 15yo Glenlivet.    
      
   If it makes any difference, the next one will be a decade for me...  ;)   
      
    MK> We'll see I am sure.   
      
   Probably depends on the state of the exchequer when the time comes... ;)   
      
    NB>> What is the TUXPOWER echo anyway....?   
      
    MK> Another dead Fidonet echo.  'Tux' is the name of  the Linux penguin

   Ah, so another Linux echo...  :)
