Safari's nice to look at and fun to have now, but I couldn't survive without my trusted plug-ins and everything arranged just as I want it. Well, survive... I'm just not as lightning-fast without.

However, I did not know that Safari was now available for Windows. I'm checking it out now! :) I've heard some pretty peculiar sounds from Flash advertisements. And for the record, I don't do MySpace. I did in the past, but I've since deleted my account. And yeah, I think it's telling that I assumed that it was the computer. If something is misbehaving and making weird sounds, it has to be the computer, right? Nils: Yep, I still use Firefox. However, I did not know that Safari was now available for Windows.

Some remarks though. One, you started Firefox? Haven't you heard? We have Safari now ;-) Just kidding. Two, a loud, high-pitched beep may have come from a website you were on? How many times, Josh. Stay away from MySpace. Just kidding too, of course. Third, I love how you instantly assumed any noise that was out of the ordinary would come from your computer. I guess we all do these days: something's odd, must be the PC. Good thing cave men didn't have comps or we would have been eaten by bears and gone extinct in a flash. I sound like a broken record: but great stuff, again. Okay, that is funny. Some remarks though.

And yes, I know I should! Really. Following your assvice, I will start checking them regularly and replace them every spring and fall. Fig: I’m glad you took so pleasure in my misery. :P

My smoke detectors are hard wired and even still, they are the first thing I suspect any time an odd beeping noise starts up. I take it you've not bought into changing your smoke detector batteries on a regular basis (such as every time change, as they recommend here, and plaster in all the papers, advertise on the radio, etc.) Dead batteries will not save your ass if there is a fire. My assvice? Start changing those 9 volts every spring and fall. At least that way you'll eliminate one possible source of beeping noises....
