I need someone who's skilled at writing nifty batch programs out there to tell
me if what I'm wanting to do is possible...and if it is, maybe some insight on
how to do it...
 
I'd like to setup my startup-sequence to play a sample when I boot-up, but I
don't want it to be the same one everytime.  I figured I could make a
directory with ten sounds numbered from 0 to 9, and then for the randomness,
look at whatever value is in the second's place on my internal clock.
 
Is it possible to do this???  
 
thanx in advance...Sean
