I've made a ring-tone out of the 56k USR modem.

Advantages:

  - The sound cuts through ALL background noise.

  - Nobody else uses it, so I don't worry about false positives

  - I geek a Nostalgia-dopamine hit when I hear it.
Disadvantages:

  - Nobody ever calls me

P.S.: I work with people who don't know what this is all about.

That's amazing. Even better than the Dubstep Nokia tone.
