Vince,
thanks for this clarification!
The point in my mind: If a user transfers his address book by means of
a file
system copy from one system to another, the UIDs on his old and the new
system may be identical.
Regarding the UIDs on one single system, I supposed they are generated
using a hash like MD5, which is practically unique - but theoretically
not
guaranteed - as far as I know.
But my assumption seems to be wrong regarding the generation of UIDs.
I'm sorry for that.
Stefan

Sure? They're in part based on the primary MAC, so they should be.
Findlay is right UID in Address Book are going to unique everywhere.
