This reminds me about the old TRS-80 days. When I was writting my first chess
program I had a FM receiver near the computer. When I suspected a program crash,
I just turned the receiver on and I could really "hear" the program think. For
each position the program searched you could hear a "click" in the receiver. At
that time I could only compute 100 positions per second, so it was audible.
Today, the frequency of these clicks would be above what the human hear can
catch!
