Web Sites With Sounds

[MikePA]

I really hate web sites that play sounds /w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif. Not only do they give you away, they can drive you nuts. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I was reading through TBN and wanted to check something out at the New Holland web site. So I started another IE session and went through the Boomer show, the last page being the SuperSteer demonstation. I left this session up and went back to reading TBN.

Then I hear a faint sound. Is someone using a circular saw? Mute the TV. The sound is still there. Open a window. Is a neighbor building something? Nope. Ah, one of the kids is listening to music, that's where the sound is coming from. Nope. Oh geez, the sound is coming from my laptop. Great! The hard drive is dying. So I put my ear up next to where the hard drive is. Darn. The hard drive is making noise. It's only after my blood pressure shoots up that I remember the Boomer web site with the <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.newholland.com/na/Products/supersteer.html>SuperSteer</A> tractor turning in circles! Close the web site and my hard drive stops making noise. Amazing! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I hate em for real! Can't even check the Carver site from work because of the sound. Let's everyone in the office know I'm checking out the Internet. Worse yet, the mute sound button on his site doesn't work! Sure I could turn off the volume, but that would mute the legitimate sounds generated by workflow.

Guess I just have to work at work /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Amen on the websites with sound. Especially the ones that play music.

Pete, amen on the Carver site's music! I love the site for the information contained there, even for those of us that don't own a Kubota, but the music... /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

I never realized the site had tunes until I read this thread. I've always put my handy-dandy, Bill Gates provided, MS volume controls on MUTE. Nothing worse than a %$&* computer "beeping" at me first thing in the morning. Now I'll have to try some of the tunes you guys are talking about /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
