Startup/shutdown

[docwebster]

My Windows startup sound is Gamu transforming into Ultraman Gaia, shutdown are a certain group of steaming Charlies proclaiming thusly, and in that order: "Ploogie!" "Right! 'Round the back for the ol' brandy there. Right!" (Grams: stampeding feet)

How about you folks?

I don't have a Windows startup or shutdown sound. They're disabled.

My Linux box plays the THX sound as it finishes booting. LOUDLY.

I made my own files by combing a few bits and pieces. Link

Mine are left as default, as I don't turn my computer off and on very much, but on previous machines, when digital sound on a computer was still a novelty, I used clips from the HHGttG radio series. Startup was the Guide processing noise, and shutdown was a Door saying "Glad to be of service."

Uhm.. I forgot my computer was good for any entertainment factor.

Does remind me of about 10 years ago when I made custom windows sounds for a few people. Mostly of moaning and gasping, and saying certain flirtatious sayings.

A roommate of one of them went to use his computer and complained it kept 'moaning' at him. heh

Memories. :D
