...Since it was fully automatic, I added two
sound effects: If the board failed, it sounded like a fog horn. If it
passed, it sounded like an early video game. The head of test wasn't
amused, but I could fill out most of the paperwork for each board while
it ran. That more than doubled production throughput.


I found QB code to play various themes of imminent doom from operas etc, but
no one else caught on. They didn't get my "Matrix" random character
waterfall screensaver either.

The good one (not completely my idea) was based on an analog noise level
sensor that detected people approaching and flashed REPENT! THE END IS NEAR!
