“tada.wav” as the startup sound for win3 was the best.
“hey lookie here, i actually booted up without a config.sys error… tada!!!”
I never got to hear the “tada!” because we had a budget Sears 3.1 machine with a 386 at the time; the only sounds I heard were the beautiful pulse-width modulated screeching from the PC speaker.
Edit: At least I had a Turbo button, though.
I don’t remember this at all because I changed all the system sounds. Why have chimes when you can have The Tick saying, “SPOON!”
I had one ‘Yeah’ from Yeah! for going through my start menu, and a different Yeah for when a program was selected. It was awesome.
Does the technology exist to do this today?
Probably, but I find user interfaces now don’t really have you go hunting through multiple dropdown menus, so it doesn’t hit the same.
It’s the Win XP install tune for me
