2006jul22. I have never had a sound associated with email arrival ... for nearly 15 years now ... but now sometimes I’m reading or off puttering and I wanted something to alert me ... so I chose a recording of a pinball-based solenoid ... a “natural” sound, very satisfying, not BEEP BOOP. Though one time a bird was rummaging around on the roof and I thought I had new mail.
