Very interesting ! I didn't know that... my information is slightly

Many thanks

Interestingly, on OS X and Linux, you can read from "/dev/random"
and get crypto-quality random numbers:
put "/dev/random" into tFile
open file tFile for binary read
read from file tFile for 1000 uint4
put it into tRandNums
close file tFile
will get you a comma delimited list of 1000 numbers bewteen 0 and 2
^ 32.
I can't find anything similar on Windows, but maybe one of Ken's
crafty VB scripts can get at the relevant OS API call
"CryptGenRandom".
