BUT - why not _beep_ me if something is wrong with the entry - why is it
programmers don't use the PC's beep speaker anymore - aren't those little
speakers still inside all PCs? Even my new P4 beeps when it starts.
BTW, I realized after the contest I could have simply scrolled RTTYrite
back and read his number from the screen - Duh!
