I seem to remember a few years back a utility that would turn the internal speaker of a PC off. Does anyone have such a utility? Thanks... -- Dan Cogswell dlcogswe@vela.acs.oakland.edu

I have one installed in my old XT. It's called A SWITCH! Just switch the speaker off when you don't want to be disturbed by any noises/sounds or other sources of aggravation. Until now, I have experienced no compatibility problems whatsoever :-) Daniel Tietze +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Daniel Tietze, 2800 Bremen 1, Tel.(voice) : 0421/448806 | |-=============- DATELINE Communications, Bremen.

A: NONE! Thats a hardware problem!

Sorry, I forgot, but I just couldn't resist. Although, now that you pointed it out, and me being a computer science student myself, there are 3 problems showing up: 1) I agree, it's hardware. But I planted it there myself, and it works. Why? 2) Can it be proven (mathematically) that aforementioned switch will function accordingly in all situations? Can we develop an algorithm for that? Can it be coded in an object-oriented language? 3) Who cares? Hey, I think I just found the theme for my doctoral thesis. On the other hand .....
