Good, but frustrating article. And btw - the dang thing is like a crying
baby. As soon as you hear it wimper or chirp, the jiggle reflex kicks in.
It's been a couple years since I was volunteering, and I still have the
reflex if I hear one. I keep saying I'm going to get the 'getting ready to
go off' PASS warning for my ringtone, just to mess with my friends.  That,
and the Minitor default alert tone.  If one goes off in a room, anyone
who's ever worn one - your hand dives for the belt like a quickdraw
contest.
