Yes, but this is less trustworthy from a randomness point of view.  I might use 
it personally for something, but I wouldn't want to use it as the basis of a 
supposedly trustworthy random seed.

A bit more looking around pointed me at the Fortuna algorithm, which might be 
worth looking into:

Thanks. :-)  Not that I use Windows for simulation, but any addition or change 
to Phobos needs to support it.
