NBLUG,

You do NOT need to bring a computer to the meeting tomorrow.  You
download and sign the keys when you get home.

Here is an example fingerprint:

kamajii:/home/frankb/.gnupg 76% gpg --fingerprint frankb at frankb.us
  pub   1024D/B80DF9C8 2003-09-04
  Key fingerprint = 151E 2298 F6E2 4E0F 3B9B  7BAC 5C61 CB72 B80D F9C8
      uid                  E. Frank Ball III <frankb at frankb.us>
      uid                  E. Frank Ball III <efball at efball.com>
      uid                  E. Frank Ball III <frank at lpsonoma.org>
      uid                  E. Frank Ball III <frank at nblug.org>
      uid                  E. Frank Ball III <e at fb3.us>
      uid                  Frank Ball <Frank at SonomaShooting.org>
      uid                  E. Frank Ball <x at efball.net>
      uid                  E. Frank Ball III <frankb at Frizzen.net>
      uid                  E. Frank Ball <Frank at Frizzen.net>
      uid                  E. Frank Ball III <frankb at sonic.net>
      uid                  E. Frank Ball III <frankb at efball.com>
      sub   2048g/8648D2CE 2003-09-04

In the first line of output you see 1024D/B80DF9C8.
1024 is the size of the key (my key is 11 years old).
After that is the Key ID: B80DF9C8

I've got 6 key fingerprints on my list now, keep them coming.
