Why don't computers come with hardware random number generators? Henry didn't write that, I did. I'm sure it was unintentional, but it's not nice to mis-attribute quotes.

No offense intended, none taken, but please be more careful next time. /roy -- Roy Smith, {allegra,cmcl2,philabs}!phri!roy System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 "you can't spell deoxyribonucleic without unix!"
