Thank you to all who replied. At one time, I had been 100% sure that the
guids were a hexadecimal representation, but then someone asked me why the
digits A-F are mixed case (VS.Net 2003 tools | generate GUID -- seems as
though it's always the 3rd segment in the string). I didn't have an answer,
so suddenly I had to question my understanding of the universe.
I'm still out to lunch on the universe thing, but at least I know that I was
right about the guids <g>
Thanks again.

I notice that when I generate various guids, they appear to have a mix of
upper and lowercase letters.
Is the uniqueness of a guid case-sensitive?
In other words, if I generate a guid, and then store it in a database that
is case insensitive (or if I convert the letters to upper), is it still
statistically unique?
