"How does acomputer, which is designed to store and process numbers
accurately and reproducably, obtain seemingly unpredictable random
numbers? One way is to sample an external random process such as
thermal noise, but this requires additional hardware."
(Computer Music, Charles Dodge and Thomas A. Jerse, 1985)
wasn't that kind of thing already built into the commodore 64? in 1983?
