Interesting concept.... What's the guarantee that some other machine
wouldn't generate an identical number by random...?

I thought you were going to try to save the 15yo.... turning out to be
too hard to ignore, is it...?

Might be a disappointment like the Gold...  Apparently it doesn't have
an age listed either...?

If it makes any difference, the next one will be a decade for me...  ;)

Probably depends on the state of the exchequer when the time comes... ;)

Ah, so another Linux echo...  :)
