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. The majority of web users experience pop-ups as 
extremely annoying.
