For example the value 1234567890 taken in isolation could be anything from my ICQ number to my shoe size in kilo-angstroms, but if you view it as the pair { <ICQ domain>, <locally unique number> } then it makes sense (disclaimer: I have no idea whether that's either a valid ICQ number or my shoe size in kilo-angstroms).
It's clearly not your shoe size in kilo-angstroms, unless you have MIGHTY large feet. According to 'units', that works out to 4860 inches. -derek -- Derek Atkins Computer and Internet Security Consultant derek@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com
