Short of a real miracle where I become a proficient typist and emacs adept .. I wonder if there is anything I can do about being beeped by emacs for apparent infringements like trying to type in readonly buffers or in the readonly part of the command area. It gets really annoying after hours at the computer when fingers are tired and even lazier than usual to get a constant stream of beeps that I guess are coming from the motherboard. I thought I might disable whatever it is in there.. but my board manual doesn´t show where it is and I actually cannot pinpoint it by sound even with the case off and ear as close as I can get. Probably not a good idea to disable it anyway, but is there anything to be done on the emacs end?
