Not quite as severe, but fun anyway... In Windows 3.1 days, I had a nifty "driver" that would take any sounds, and pipe them through the 2" PC beeper-speaker. (Back before we all had sound cards!) The down side was that it stole all of the processor time while it did this, so the rest of the machine was worthless until the sound file was done. I recorded a Monty Python sound... in the cave, Sir Bedevere says "OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOO!" (to which Lancelot replies "No, no, arrrrrgggghhh at the back of the throat). I put the sound on a friend's computer in the sales department, and set it as the default sound for Novell "you have a message". I then wrote a quick QB program that would "net send" a message to him every 10 seconds. (The message was, "it is now ", followed by the time.) I started the program, and ran up to the sales department. Every ten seconds, his machine would lock up and go "oooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo". Salesmen have no sense of humor.
