RGR

SeedRnd "myseed" (or any String that starts not with a number) is the same as SeedRnd 0
Strings that begin with Numbers are converted to numbers
SeedRnd "3565" is the same as SeedRnd 3565
So, using Strings with SeedRnd is rubbish and only confusing beginners...

I never met the situation when SeedRnd produced different lines of numbers on lots of different computers.
I read years ago that there were some series of Intel CPUs that produced errors rounding numbers ... so they would change the line of numbers compared to other CPUs ... but this was ages ago ...
