I had an embarrassing experience on contract - I was waiting for a program
to compile and was browsing for attractions for a forthcoming holiday.
Had uses the web for various purposes on that pc many times.
Came across a motorcycle related site, which had very loud Ducati
engine revs for each click of a navigation button. (How pointless is that?)

I had 40 people turning round to look at me - I did not even know that the
pc had speakers inbuilt, let alone that sound was on, as that was the first
time I had found a website with sound!
