Well, it might have come down in price since 2006. Or not.

How much to program what horn, when?

I want a 'Dive, Dive' klaxon. I already have that as my text alert.

[damduck-egg]

I had it on as a ringtone about 12 years ago. I happened to be on the helm of a ship when someone called, rest of the bridge team looked at each other with deep concern as they wondered what the heck had set an alarm they had never heard sound before off.

The way things are going over in the US with them removing monuments to those who were on the losing side in the civil war playing that may soon be looked on with disfavour. Seems strange to be doing so 150 years after the event.

Mine has gone off in the middle of me giving a lecture. I just say "It's OK, just a text" and carry on. The students think "Oh, Bob again" and ignore it.

Danger Danger Bio Hazard in the voice of Robby the Robot would be nice. Since by then I'd be incontinent and probably have a drive itself device, it seems appropriate. Brian

I would note that the statues were mainly not erected at the time of the event.

The main complaint was that the statues were often erected as a celebration of racial discrimination in the early part of the 20th Century at the height of apartheid/segregation and the "Jim Crow" laws designed to make ex-slaves second class citizens.

Allegedly.

I have a 'phone from a well known manufacturer, and I got a job with a company that supplied them chips. It so happened that the Christmas before I started they'd had a major panic, and several people had spent Christmas in exotic climes (No, it wasn't Apple!). It also so happens that this manufacturer had used the same tone on their internal security doors as for the incoming SMS tone on the model that I have.

I had to change the tone. People were getting flashbacks :)

[Vir Campestris]

Quite a lot of people will recognise that, and I'd advise against it. It's an old Confederate army song

which some people will object to.

[Max Demian]

You can't stop doing something just because "some people" will object to it.

How about songs sympathetic to the Confederate cause, such as "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", covered by Joan Baez.

Ah ring tones for the elderly this is mine looped, always makes me smile but strange looks for anyone under 60yo

-

[Huge]

I use the same one. Everyone under 60 thinks it's from the Austin Powers movies.

[Mark]

glad im not alone in being what my granddaughter calls slightly cranky but do you also have the nokia morse ?connecting people? as an sms alert :)

[Harry Bloomfield]

It happens that Mark formulated :

I once recorded my own ring tone, using my name and callsign played out in Morse - I was curious if anyone might be able to hear and decode it. No one ever did :D

[Huge]

Not surprised. Morse is a dying skill among radio amateurs, never mind the general public.

[Bob Eager]

We have IP phones around the house (a lot of them). We also have dedicated numbers for each member of the household. The phones ring differently according to which person's number is being called.

The 'ring tone' is the Morse for each person's initial.

[Harry Bloomfield]

Bob Eager pretended :

I would not go that quite far :D

I have though assigned different ring tones to different people who might ring, based on whether they might be ringing for me or for Jean, or for either of us.
