- I bought my se/30 soon after they came out and have had noticed a
- problem with random numbers. (Actually I noticed that while playing
- games, things weren't as random as expected - I never had the
- problems on my plus with the same games.) So I wrote a pascal program
- to simply make a list of random numbers and it looked fine. Turn the
- machine of then on and you get the exact same list - is this what's
- supposed to happen?
-
- It's not a big deal - it's been years since I last thought about it, but
- it's getting annoying.
