So everyone knows what it sounds like when your computer start up. This sound has been around since the mid to late 90s (The first PCI Powermacs had it, but the Nubus ones didn't). It's come a long way since the 'beep' of the Macintosh. Any suggestions for a 'new and improved' one?

Funny, cuz the first thing that came to mind was Dave Murray doing a wicked 'C' on the guitar.

It should sound like this.

"'Jelly Hat' sounds silly," I told Prince. "How about something poetic, like 'Raspberry Beret.'"

It's been a long time since I experimented with this, but do all the different tones when played in order still recreate the opening to La Bamba? Or did Apple eventually stop doing that?
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!
