COMPUTER’S START-UP THEME COMPOSER BECOMES PHILANTHROPIST

The creator of the upbeat droning sound that plays when your computer starts up just became a multi-billionaire, thanks to the royalties he receives daily in nanoseconds. When asked what he will do with his vast fortune, he replied, “I am starting a philanthropic organization that will fight hearing loss throughout the developing world. Thanks to globalization, there is no reason why the deaf pygmies in the rainforests of Cameroon, Gabon and Congo should not be able to hear the mellifluous sound of their laptops starting up.”
