Nahh... You are all off base. I recognize it is a DBase clarinet. It actually
is a fancy desk top cup holder with a built radio and stereo system that can be
connected to your computer. When ever a member of the DBase development team
went to the Help menu a strange voice with an Cockney accent would read the help
text to the user. They found there was a three fold increase in productivity by
using this gadget due to the fact that the programmers spent less time in the
help files. It was given as a gift by the administrators to the development team
as an experiment to increase the stock value of the company.
