Back in the day, my alert sound on my computer was "I'm Sorry, Dave.  I'm afraid I can't do that."  One of the great things that went away when apple brought out system 7 that never came back

Alas, I've customized my seat of WindowsTM with that very event sound, as well as HAL's 'I have a message for you', whenever e-mail comes in.

Aren't I just a teensy-weensy bit superior?!?!  :cheers1:
