	[Attract attention w/sounds]

	I agree.  For some reason my computer (Apple //gs) emits a tone when
it is idle and a different tone when it is doing calculations.  Therefore,
when I am doing a calculation intensive operation which will take a while, I
can set it up, do something else meanwhile, and when I hear the pitch
change, I know the job is done.
