From: "John Beamish" 

I don't mind (though I also don't understand the attaction of) "visual
candies."

But, the "audio candies" (music when the page loads, clicks on
buttons, whoops and bleeps as you pass over other spots -- see
http://www.foulds2000.freeserve.co.uk/index_v2.html ) are simply intrusive.
As I think about ... as I use the browser, I'm already visually focused on
what I'm doing so the extraneous audio feedback is just that:  extraneous.
