I'm sitting here on a shiny new Mac II. Messing around with the standard
bell sound. Now that we have standard IFF sound files, wouldn't it be nice

I wanted a standard bell when the Amiga first came out, but further use has convinced me that it should be up to me whether it's audible or visual, or whatever. The visual bell ( DisplayBeep() ) is far less obnoxious as a default, and if I want an audible one, I'll use... > Wow, a new standard feature for 1.4, I answer).

SetBeep, a nifty little program that allows me to use any sound file as my audible bell. I have heard everything from sleighbells to gongs, from burps to laughs, and even a digitized voice that says 'oops' used for the bell. > Don -larry -- "Intelligent CPU?
