[ story about "proctor desensitization" program ]
Reminds me of something vaguely similar I used to do in our old Apple ][
labs. I found out the commands to tickle the speaker, and figured out how
to make *really* high-pitched sounds, sounds which were more similar to
vacuum tubes warming up than computers, only somewhat louder. I would set
up a couple of these babies running on a few machines, at slightly
different pitches (ouch!). People just assumed it was the computers, but
they were a real bitch to listen to!
