millions? billion? it's a 25-34 (IIRC) long almost alphanumeric case sensitive combination, just to keep the maths simple, if you had only 10 combinations per character slot (and in reality you have plenty more), then you'd be looking at a number of combinations ending with 34 zeroes, or thereabouts. think that, but considerably larger.

plus, it's not really a big issue, as addresses are use-once, any incredibly unlikely collision wouldn't be particularly damaging.
