 I think it was rbowman I was talking to - the

 an old Pi-1/256mb and a few long muzak tracks
 from 70s shopping malls and sneaked the wiring
 into the PA system. The tracks rotate every
 month. Worked for a dozen years and likely STILL
 does - so long as none of the muzak haters FIND
 the thing.

 Proper muzak - you shouldn't actually HEAR it unless
 you TRY. Keeps some little corner of the brain occupied
 and, according to some, thus actually improves performance
 on other tasks.

It could very well become the last piece of operating machinery on planet
earth. Could you imagine the sun expanding, swallowing the earth while
your little muzak machine plays the perfect muzak for the event? ;)

That reminds me of the end of the post-acopalytic novel _Level 7_,
by Mordecai Roshwald.

Sigh... makes one despair of ever writing an original science fiction novel! =(
