[Coco] Tandy Color Computer 3 RND Function

[Jim OKeefe]

This discussion got me thinking.  Googled random number generator and found
this. Random.org   Claims true random numbers based on atmospheric noise. I
didn't think it's possible to generate true randomness or is this semi true
random numbers. My head hurts.  ;)
