    I wasn't thinking kabukki theater if that's what your implying. 

   Is there a preferred format ? ogg,wav,mp3 ?? I have some ideas and I can not 
only create 
but I have a huge library of samples that are open liscensed for useage so no 
problems 
there. 

    If Haiku was a person What kind of person would haiku be ? The idea I have 
for sounds is 
that they should create a mental picture through audio stimulation that matchs 
the intended 
percpetion of the system. 

    Since Haiku is fast, well integrated and easy to use. I think the ideal 
model for a person 
might be a athelete. Maybe even a female athelete as Haiku is good as 
multitasking. I know 
a woman with a very sultry voice that would be perfect for system 
announcements, Mail etc  

     What do youthink about mental imagery ?

   I was thinking something along the lines of a flyswatter bug zapper for the 
debugger alerts. 

  Is this the type of stuff you had in mind ? 

   Sean
