What word/phrase makes you think of old Macs?

[iMeowbot]

Wild Eep

That reminds me. This rules, it's all the silly old system beep sounds converted to play happily with OS X. The older monkey sound is in there too

Many trouble tickets we have at work start with LC, I often think of my little LC when I see them come in.

I have also setup rules and sounds for our ticket system that play various Apple Startup chimes, and Chimes of death, depending on the type of ticket, and the time it is due..

I now get to listen to my ipod and have apple sounds play when I am at work

Clink-Clank! That's my fav, the first sound I ever heard come out of a Mac SE's speaker. As for words, probably:

Chooser
Font/DA Mover
Scrapbook
Multifinder
"Sorry, a system error occured." (glad those days are gone)

Also, who can forget the psychotic disk swapping...

 

[Marky_Mark]

RAM Doubler... of dubious value, I think, but seemed pretty much ubiquitous around the time of System 7.x, especially as RAM was several hundred pounds per MB at the time!

Remember the hollow, mechanical sound from the original 400K external disk drives? Unforgettable!

 

[nylock10]

Classic, PowerMacintosh, "Eep", "Quack", "Uh-oh", "beep" sound, the trumpets sound, KidPix, Super Munchers, Dark Forces, Damage Inc (and a few other games).
