Great idea... now any idea on if there's an XCMD out there (or equivalent)
to get the MAC address?

Identification
just
get the Mac Address of the network card. It's unique for each hardware -
model/manuf. regardless!
You
could also generate a time base code coupled with that just to make sure it's
never duplicate. I've heard of some duplicate ids in Mac addresses but it's
one in a zillion.
THis is slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to uniquely
identify a Mac? We're trying to set up a specific install that works on a
set number of machines by getting a unique ID for the machine and using it
to verify that the machine is "licensed". This doesn't have to specifically
be through MetaCard (it could be AppleScript, XCMD, gestalt selector,
etc.).
Thanks!
