This whole thing is out of hand. Let's drop the subject. Steve- for your information the beeps coming from digital watches,terminals and microwave ovens are not speakers! The are piezoelectric resonators but then how should I expect you to know anything technical.

Let's hear it for all the broad-minded folks on the net.
So far we've got:
rabbit!jj commenting on psycho-acoustics without
trying the experiment.
tannenbaum's sarcastic reply about running the test
using his Rabbit GTI's radiator as the passive
radiator, without trying the experiment.
hplabsc!labelle's attempted insult of winograd's
technical knowledge -- without trying the experiment.
Ok, to cover my butt, maybe you DID try the experiment, but
just forgot to post your results.
If you're really that interested in proving him wrong, try the
bleeping experiment and let us know how it went.

No, I didn't try the experiment. I don't have to try an experiment- the
results of which are already known. I don't have to re-prove that the
Earth is indeed round either. This extra speaker nonsense is somewhat
akin to starting a new religion- it is based on FAITH alone!

Please everyone, don't worry, I heard Bob Carver is coming out with a little electronic gizmo that will take care of those problems developed by 4" speakers, watches, and microwaves. It will especially work well if you have a CD player in your system that costs less than $500!! dave
