Why couldn't they have chosen to be more creative and made a truly
imaginative product that doesn't offend the ears, and made virtual
bagpipes instead?  I love the sound of bagpipes and have contemplated
building an electronically controlled set of electro-mechanical
bagpipes.  Then I could sit out on my wildlife habitat lawn and play
them, giving the neat-grass-only-lawned suburb-dwelling neighbors
something else to like, drowning out the racket made by their noisy
children.  ;-)
