Scott Williams 🐧Did you know that ^G historically makes a "bell" sound?
Want to relive that glory on #Linux now?
watch -n.1 echo -e '\\a'
Scott VE3QBZ@vwbusguy on my work machine (Windows, ugh), I wake my bluetooth headset up with "echo ^G" all the time :)
@scott Yup - It predates DOS. My Osborne One has a "BELL" label on the G key and it also works on the Apple //e. I *assume* it goes back to typewriter days, but that's as far back as I know about it.
