Default Humming noise.

Damn! Is nothing made to last these days!
Webtv is...

You're right! I haven't had one fail as a door stop yet. They do
work better if you fill them with lead, though.


Plaster is easier. Just mix some up, drill a hole in the top and pour it
in; let set. Will effectively 'brick' almost anything....

Good idea! I'll have to try that out on the next mac computer I get.

Yeah, well, don't forget to mask off any openings below the top first.g

I've actually used this trick for things that I didn't want to fall over
in the van...like trash cans. An inch or two in the bottom makes a
fairly tip-proof solution for something like that.

I could see doing exactly as outlined as a unique doorstop; outdated
game console or other obsolete and otherwise worthless electronica.
