Re: id field

Anything that is unique would be fine for me.

Talking the system time as id number may lead 2 or more 
cards to have the same id. If 2 cards are created in a given
short period of time, the 2 successive system time calls may delivery
the same value (this short period is SO dependent).

My suggestion is to take a random number and make a bit operation
on top of the system time.
