Hi guys, loving my T41. Let me know if you want to know anything specific. Anyways, this isn't IBM related, but does anyone know of a software that periodically says stuff. I have heard coming from my computer "Yipee" and "Let me out" I know that sounds crazy, but I assume it is in something. I have Eudora and Mailwasher, and AOL IM.
I figured you tech people my know. Doesn't really bother me, but curious.

I am not joking - they sound like something that would be in AOL Instant Messenger - like it would let you record a sound when you are on and then leave.. nothing creepy! But I checked my IM options and don't see that anywhere. Hasn't done it in a few hours. Oh well. keeps the day interesting!

its AIM, it plays ads in the little banner at the top. people can also have audio buddy icons that play things when you IM them

I've had a hard week - please send me some of whatever it is you're smoking - I'd love to give it a road test...

I am betting it's AIM. They got these stupid little voices, are you running it in the background? If so kill it and all will be quiet.

I'm betting it has to do with AOL Instant Messenger. You can set it up so that when you sign on or IM someone, if they have sounds playing or alerts, it will play the sound clip.

Yes it was IM... two people on buddy list have "sayings" -- thanks for your help. See I'm not crazy : )

Nice to hear you found the problem. Having voices from your TP could become a problem. <vbg>
