- The last four came from a Radio Shack book, but I can't tell you how to use
- them (except NOT to use them). They are the famous "Blue-Box" tones generated
- by another one of Steve Wozniak's electronic inventions (or so urban legend has
- it). I guess Steve Jobs has finally outdone The Woz's Blue-box with his
- Black-box :-)
