Yep, I remember seeing demos of this type of thing. Could be done with
some printers as well.

I heard somebody say "REAL programmers write programs that modulate the
RF output of the CPU to play music on nearly speaker systems".
I thought they were JOKING, man! O_O

I remember those days and yes did hear that sort of computer generated
