OT: Proof that macintosh is better than VMS



Last week, I ported from VMS to OS-X a small C program that generates
lottery numbers (and postscript which then puts the squares in the right
locations on the forms).

Turns out that the Apple random number generator is far better than VMS'
because on the first time I used the Mac generated numbers, I won a
whopping $10 at the lottery. Statistically, my program on a MAC is 100%
succesful at generating a winning number, whereas on VMS it rarely
generated a winning number (and it was just a free ticket :=(

So there you go, undeniable proof that Macintosh is better than VMS.

:-) :-) :-) :-)
