OK, I'm a dumkopf probably, but...  Since I got my 27"-er back with a new video board, I'm getting background 'Dings' at times. WTF is this signalling? It's not incoming Mail... I've checked.
Where do I investigate this? It's trying to tell me something.   :embarrassed:

Looks like medication dose should be upped for both of us. Can I really be bothered to go onto an Apple forum.? Probably not.

That sound means your baby is still alive.
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
― Johnny Carson

Or maybe, in this case, A dingo stoled your baby.  :shocked:

Turns out the dingo did, on re-examination, steal the baby. Their marriage did not survive the miscarriage of justice, but each did individually, it seems; no mean feat. Changed people though, of course.
But I digress...

Frailer, I remember that case well. However, here in the states there used to be a comedy show called Seinfeld. One particular episode they took a page out of that case.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYTIGXvc88Y
