I want to change my computer Startup sound to this:

On the topic of old Windows OS's, I'm currently installing 98 and XP onto a virtual machine, for various malware and experimental purposes.

[Badnik96]

Badnik, my phone browser crashes every time I open PM Inbox, now here's my answer.

Yes, I lost every damn file. 4 years work of RA2, all gone.

...So can I run Series 9/Extreme 3 for you then? I'll remake all the replicas and stuff.

Nope, sorry.

[Badnik96]

Darn.

You can still use all my replicas if you want when you do revive the series dude.

I guess there won't be Series 9. I have to admit that most of the RW bots are history, and will never return. Now I just need to think of a modern and good idea for the next Tournament.

DSL IRL and all bots must use car steering.

Speaking of Windows actually, I recently changed my Startup sound to something a little different-

Nerdy I know, but I think it's pretty cool.

>tfw I actually used Windows 95 for about 5 years.

I should probably change mine to the ME startup sound.

Ah, ME. Only God knows how I managed to put up with it for so long- I think it got BSODs every other time I used it.
 
 
Forget Y2K, ME was the real Millennium Bug.

>tfw I got rid of a Windows 95 PC to get a Windows ME PC.

I used ME until after Vista came out, at which point I got a Windows XP PC.

Yes, that and TV static always freaked me out.

You suffer that too?

Oh, and the "End of broadcast day" sign off at like 1 AM always freaked me out.

[Conraaa]

The end of broadcast day ones are the worst. For me at least it was like you're expecting something to pop out of the screen at any moment. Similar thing with the "It's now safe to turn off your computer" screen. Still not too keen on them now.

[GoldenFox93]

Some I have come across which I was unnerved by...anyone else heard of the EAS Broadcasts?

HA's signature...

...it doesn't detect IE properly.

That would be because IE is a smouldering heap of sh**

Yeah, switch to Chrome or Firefox.

As if the browser really makes ANY humanly noticable difference. And anyways, if you still think IE's crap, you're living in the times of IE 5.

Plus, with the speed of my internet broadband, if IE 9's really as slow and rubbish as everybody makes out, it wouldn't impact me.

Once again, stop living in the past, dude. Fixating on the few problems of something and not even tollerating it is beyond arrogant. I mean...I hate Apple products, but at least I tollerate the fact that people use them, and simply avoid using them myself.
