background info: Aware of the decline of pop-up window art caused by
the widespread use of pop-up blockers* (Windows XP has even default a
pop-up blocker installed) Peter luining developed a piece of
standalone software that auto rotates 100 pop-up windows. To give the
program a special touch Luining programmed it so that it uses the
internal speaker on the PC Motherboard to make a beep every time a
window pops up. In other words no soundcard is needed to enjoy the
sound of this piece.


*A pop-up blocker (sometimes called a pop-up killer) is a program that
prevents pop-ups from displaying in a user's Web browser. Pop-ups are
amongst others used by advertising agencies to display advertisements.
On the more aggressive side pop-ups are used to force people into
downloading spyware. A large majority of web users experience pop-ups
as extremely annoying.
