Hello,

I've probably been overdoing it last day or so .. but what does this
random data stuff look likr ?


I,ve never seen any!

'course not. It's an abstract concept. Every *specific* sequence isn't random,
but the way how it has been created *can* be random. That is, it is more the
definition of a process creating the beast rather than the beast itself.

BTW, are you relating (with your title) to John D. Barrow's book? ("Pi in the Sky")?
(A nice read, BTW)

Is it a bit like a real number or more like an integer in the way it
behaves?

Neither, it's random.

So long,
