    I always thought more that it sounded musical somehow.

    But then again, I am a huge fan of things like Progressive Industrial Death Metal, so maybe this doesn’t amount for much…

            I see them in medical environments sometimes. Occasionally simpler than finding some compatible network method that complies with all the privacy requirements to just send screaming screeches direct point to point.
