Opps sorry, didn't mean it to go public.
What the heck; red face.
I really meant it for integrating all the instrumentation in a hospital.
All the alarms going off, and then being turned off, driving me mad.

The different alarms sounding like an orchestra warming up.
That  give me the idea.
Thanks Craig
You're a life saver.
