Spaz, it's quite easy to turn sounds off in "options - sounds"

I had no performance issues with either, but I'm on a 1.6GHz machine with loads of RAM, ROM and magnetic core memory (just kidding Vax)

IE6, cable modem at home/T3 at work, blah, blah blah
Powerbook G4 17" 1.5 PowerPPC with 2GB RAM and a T1 and Cable modem...

It doesn't matter. It's wasting CPU cycles (and on a faster machine, it just wastes 'em faster) like driving a Hummer SUV in circles wastes gas.

It's also more data (the flash code) that will be sent repeatedly and needlessly down my T1.
