No, but I gave serious thought to hiring some 13-year old kid with a
backward baseball cap (actually, sans cap, as the backward cap reduces the
IQ by 23 points) to come up with a 10 or 11-note "Death March" tune for use
as the IPF jingle. Twice the number of bits requires an arpeggio at least
twice as long as the current Intel standard.
