+ * Uuid
+ *
+ * UUIDs are unique numbers that are used for identifying individual units,
+ * functions, programmes, or whatever you want to tag.
+ *
+ * In this demo, press the Arduino Reset button to generate a new number.
+ *
+ * UUIDs can be assigned sequentially from allocated blocks of numbers, but
+ * they are most powerful when randomly assigned. UUIDs are such big numbers
+ * that, for all effective purposes, no two numbers will ever match.
+ *
+ * UUIDs are particularly useful in web-aware devices, or radio networks.
+ *
+ * For a discussion of the use of UUIDs, see
+ * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_Unique_Identifier
+ *
+ * For implementation details of UUIDs, see
+ * http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122
