Sorry if this brings peals of laughter, but I am trying to seed a

It seems a bit wrong to be using the random to generate it's own
seed. I use something like this:
Dim r As New Random
Dim d As New Date
r.Seed = d.TotalSeconds
I use the current time's "totalseconds" value as it always provides a
different starting point. I'm sure there are better, more random
mechanisms, but that's simple and works for most things I need
randomization for.
