Until the automatic updating of the time from the Internet sets the clock

Sunday in October (US rules for those areas that do DST)).
In other words, the names will be unique until the worst possible
moment...then the key memo to the CEO will be lost.
I agree, it isn't foolproof as is, but I reckon one could build
something into the script to check for duplication and deal with it
in a desirable manner.
