| 532267 | 2007-03-12 09:14:00 | Lately it's started spitting out loud, strange beeping & static noises for a few seconds at a time, every 10-60 mins but only if I'm doing something.

It would probally help if you wore a feather head-dress and rattled a bone necklace while you informed him of this. |
