	Back in high school, we had an old PDP-8E, and it to would make
noises heard through an AM radio placed on the CPU. What was really wild was
that there were programs floating around that would play music in 4 part
harmony, and a music compiler that would take a "score" and compile it into
the nesssecary instructions that created the sounds. We had lots of classic
scores, such as Bethovens fifth, Fanfare for a common man, Bachs third(?)
and a whole slew of others. We got a kick out of playing them when nothing
else was due.
