FWIW, that "uh-oh" sound had been one of those silly things "going around" the internet long before ICQ ever existed; ICQ just grabbed it and used it[1]. I'm not sure anyone really knows what the source is. But if you are really concerned, record yourself saying "uh-oh" and speed it way up[2] with audacity. Problem solved. =) [1] Apparently; I never checked the md5sums or anything. [2] Maybe this is what ICQ did. Who knows? -- Wesley J.
