- kstox@admips2.berkely.edu writes in Telecom Digest 13 #14
- about how someone programmed the IBM 1130 to generate
- tones on an AM radio.

- I've got one better than that. I was in the computer
- center at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, Ca., when
- someone got the *line printer* to play the five tones
- from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"!
