*** Aggravation alert! ***

I used Dock Detox to get the icon bounce to stop on Errors (as well as
everything else), figuring that sounds would alert me to messages. And for a
while, sounds did alert me to messages. But I've just noticed they stopped.
I logged out and back in, and the sounds have returned. But for how long?

Now, I knew that sometimes invoking Classic could result in killing sounds,
though I haven't tracked down exactly what Classic-related action resulted
in no sounds on my particular machine, but didn't think it that big a deal
for now because I seldom invoke Classic on my iBook, where Entourage X
dwells. But lo and behold, no Classic since my last login, and yet abruptly
no sounds.

Dock Detox didn't kill sounds, at least not right away. It's been invoked
all morning, and it was only a little while ago that sounds stopped. An
urgent email arrived during that time, of course, which I didn't notice even
though I'm working away on my computer. So then an annoyed client called
wondering why I hadn't replied.

I still say that have the icon bounce on Errors should be an option, and
separate from icon bounce on message arrival. I actually like the icon
bounce on message arrival (especially since who know when the sounds might
up and bail out on me) but not for errors, which are not that uncommon for
at least one of the mail servers I connect to.

*** Okay, Aggravation Alert over! ***
