A few days ago my peacefully slumbering missus sitting in the tranquil environment of our V70 was rudely awakened by the vrrrrr vrrrrr vrrrrr (imagine a dive dive dive claxon for a submarine!) that I had set as my speed camera alert. Suitably chastened (I jumped too!) I promised to find something a little more subtle.

Browsing my XP professional laptop for inspiration I happened across folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Media in which I found file cashreg.wav

Yes, "CHING"; a cash register. Most appropriate I thought and it's now copied to the PDA and used by the CheckPOInt speed camera plugin for TomTom 5.1!

For those of you not familiar with CheckPOInt, visit checkpoint.oabsoftware.nl/

Somehow on posting the 'slashes' got lost from the folder path in my post above, but you can guess what I meant.
