No computer is capable of generating a random number, because any such generation requires a human derived algorithm. It simply does as its told. The number isn't random. However, I think you are right that the primitive OS had a "random number generator" that simply derived a number by converting the time to a numeric, adding it up and displaying it. Clever, really.

Quote from: "Angry White Male"You could easily program BASIC to generate random numbers.  I actually used to know how exactly it did that, but that was like almost 30 years ago.



I think it had something to do based on its internal clock.
