Back 20 years ago when I worked at Bearbone software, Bearbone, the BB at a people they

had an email client called MailSmith, which was amazing.

It was back when plain text email was still holding on by a thread to a thing.

But I think I'm not a fan of April Fool's Joke's period, but there was an April Fool's

Easter egg where if the date was April 1, it would make an electric shock sound when

email when you got an email.

And there was a preference that only appeared on that day that it was like delivered 20,000

kilovolt shock on new mail or something like that.

And it was like dealing with the support email for that was so, it was the best and worst

of working there because the people who got the joke, which was most people, loved it,

right?

And the ones who thought the right and then the people who didn't understand that it

was April Fool's were so angry.

And I was like, I went to Rich Siegel, the guy, I was like, Rich, I don't know how

about you love this joke, but the people who are angry are so angry.

Yeah, it's, I know that you've talked a lot about like the Apple Pay, the contactless

payment sounds being bad, like you're being punished for paying in a store.

And that's what happens to me every time.

Oh my God, that's the worst.

That is the, I still say the worst sound design I've ever heard.

And I think they've mostly fixed it, although maybe it's just the fact that it's been

so long since I've paid.
