   Same here, with Windows sound events enabled in this Win98 VirtualBox.  I'm   
   still using the same .wav files I had in the old WFWG 3.11 back in 1994.   
      
   With the events enabled I can tell when my Fido mailer starts the 'tosser'   
   BATch after a poll, or a scheduled external BATch starts up or quits, even   
   from two rooms away.  Even outbound mail scans set off a flurry of canned   
   sounds.   
      
   Great fun, still.  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
