    “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.
