The HP ScanJet 3c/4c Music

This is the most astounding things I have seen this year.

So I was reading Slashdot and I don't normally link to anything on there because it is all just reconstituted news, but they have This Bit on how ScanJet scanners have variable speed motors and how somebody made one play music (Ludwig Van Beethoven's Fur Elise to be exact). The site is down because of the Slashdot effect, but you can still get it from Mirror Dot.
