: I just wanted to post this in the hopes that Netscape will soon accept   
: the BGSOUND tag and future HTML designs will incorporate this or   
: something similar --  [. . .]

BROWSER AUTHORS BEWARE:

There are extant multi-user operating systems where the audio-device
is neither "owned" nor shared.  One could expect system managers in
such environments to disable "BGSOUND" (probably by forbidding the use
of browsers that support it -- unless a supporting browser provides a
system-level switch for disabling it).

Of course, "BGSOUND" could always be disabled at build time.  In other
words:

                         KNOW YOUR PLATFORM
