- It's interesting how a NeXT can change a marraige. My wife, Denise
- (The C/Unix programming goddess that she is) and I have had ours for
- over a year now and it certainly has made in impact on our relatioship
- (aside from the usual things of "Honey would you get off the modem,
- I'm getting a page from the hospital" or "Dean, you're always on that
- silly thing. When do I get my turn?")
-
- Anyway, we noticed fairly quickly that with the Preferences in NS2.1
- the volume settings are not individualized to the different users.
- We both have loginhook sounds which are rather fun, but alas, Denise
- developed serious AcChen addiction. Thus, the problem. I turn up the
- volume to hear my system beeps, loginhooks and logouthooks. When she
- logs in to play AcChen and it screams "*WELCOME*" she turns around and
- yells back at me for fiddling with the volume control.
-
- So, I'm left pondering the question. Does NS 3.0 allow for individual
- setting of volume control by user? I certainly hope so, since I can't
- modulate the volumes on the AcChen binary (although I'd dearly love to)
- since I love that game oh so much. (NOT!)
-
- Otherwise we're stuck with the occasional spats of "You've been messing
- with the volume again, haven't you!"
-
- Peace (from dean, the physician who mungs Unix well)
