Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> You'll just have to report on it when/if you do...  :)   
      
   For sure.  First I have to check if the store in question does have it in   
   stock and at what price.  If the price is right I'll have to come up with an   
   excuse to buy and try it out.   
      
   Speaking of trying things out, I was looking at a version 2 UUID and tried   
   replacing the 48 bit MAC address with an extra-special Fidonet address   
   containing a 12 bit user number which would assure every user of a particular   
   BBS an unique identifier as part of the UUID.  For example "Maurice Kinal" 48   
   bit hex id would be 100991b59bad.  With the current datetime then the UUID   
   would be; f4635300-0c54-11e8-9dd1-100991b59bad.  Knowing the UUID's version,   
   then running 'uuidparse' yields;   
      
   ----- ':read !uuidparse f4635300-0c54-11e8-9dd1-100991b59bad' starts   
   UUID                                  VARIANT TYPE       TIME   
   f4635300-0c54-11e8-9dd1-100991b59bad  DCE     time-based 2018-02-07   
   22:19:25,173632+0000   
   ----- ':read !uuidparse f4635300-0c54-11e8-9dd1-100991b59bad' ends   
      
   Note that the fractional part of the datetime is in microseconds.   
      
   For the record, Little Mikey's 48 bit hex id would be 100991b59000.  The last   
   3 nibbles is what makes the Fidonet node's unique to a specific user.  The   
   first 9 nibbles is the hex representation of the Little Mikey's node number,   
   1:153/7001.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
