>OK so it's obvious I never used the feature :). When I started coding, there were a few XT boxes around where people thought it would be cool for it to beep on each .lostfocus()... which everyone hated. So we decided using the 'bell' would be rude and never did it.

Annoying would be a beep on each keystroke (sort'a like how computers used to be portrayed in TV or movie -- making a "boop" noise for every keystroke and character displayed -- or simply a teletype noise -- on a CRT) -- and could be made even more annoying by varying the tone for each keystroke. Used to have a TSR that did just that.
