Ugh - i see the address of the university i'm studying at in there. So 
much to trying not to think of all the uni work I should do, by reading 
Allegro mails :)
I actually talked to the guy whose site this is once, never took one of 
his courses though - and consequently know nothing about RNGs.. :)

Anyway, as I stated earlier, I'd like to see an RNG inside Allegro, no 
matter if good or bad - the list of "bad" RNGs shows that it doesn't 
really matter in most applications (even maths packages have those "bad" 
RNGs apparently), and even less in Allegro games.
