Regarding the microwave beep, I can see how it can be annoying and something I wouldn't want either. However, I have friends who microwave stuff and forget to take it out until after they have eaten. I suppose in those situations the intermittent beeps help. At the risk of overly complicating a feature, a suggestion would be to allow the user to turn this feature off and on....
