Hehe. Reminds me of how I taught some distant cousin of mine a little bit of
AppleScript when he got his first Mac. It is very easy to get the Mac to
speak with AppleScript, and so that was one of the first things I taught him
to do. Well, I wasn't aware that they used Macs at his high school. Well, he
wrote a little script that said something similar to your alert sound,
although various slang terms were substituted. He also managed to distribute
it to several systems on the network. So I guess there were a lot of
surprised people that day. Looking back, it's probably a *good* thing that I
forgot my copy of ResEdit...
