Hi Sampo. Thanks for the sounds to accompany the math. It helps you to
appreciate how complex computers are, and the computations that are required
to produce something quite simple.

BTW: I downloaded all the other tunes while at the site. Never one to miss
some free music, and you never know what little gems you are going to find.

Many thanks for the link. Nigel.
