  I think the SoundEdit about box is nasty. Sure, there's room for humor,
but fake System bombs are in pretty poor taste. It strikes me as being on
a par with "joke" programs like the one that puts up a dialog saying,
"Formatting disk...," as it accesses your hard drive in a scary but non-
destructive way. If you find that sort of thing funny, great... but I don't
want it in a program I've paid money for.
