What do I do to make Cheapbeep do its stuff? > What you need are sound files from which CheapBeep can generate a sound. Like CheapBeep, sound files are available in the public domain. There are literally dozens of them. One of the Macs at my office, for example, startles people by saying "Game over, man" instead of beeping. If you have a selection of sound files, CheapBeep will randomly pick one to use whenever it needs a beep. Your best source is probably the big users groups, such as BMUG or the Boston Computer Society, which maintain big collections of public domain software. Some companies, such as EDUCOMP, also sell PD stuff.
