All things are possible. It's just a matter of a little engineering effort
(actually a fair amount, I would suspect). But the Macintosh that I'm
typing this response on does precisely that. I keep Beethoven's Fifth
loaded in the CD-ROM drive and playing while I type. I thought that this
was one of the more toy-like attributes of the Macintosh -- until I
started using it. It has been more pleasureable than I would have
initially guessed. But, of course, you have to be in a room by yourself.
