GUIDs are spawned from a network card which is uniquely identified. It used
to be, I htink, that if there were no NIC, the GUID routines would object to
being asked to generate one but they do it anyway now. Not sure what the
spawn is in this instance. Not many PCs these days without NICs.
So no - time will not play a major role but time on the machine in question
will be used to create the tail of the GUID.
Get a GUID generator and generate a few on your PC - you'll see them
incrementing.
