What is the first thing you think of when hearing this?
"Another 8MB RAM is over $300"
nice, sound is still working
Ah, yes, I remember $50 per MB RAM.

In my case it was
>Fuck my mom and Dad now know I turned on the computer at 4am
that one time i found a W95 machine in a trash heap
the latter 2/3 of the hard drive was completely gone, no sync marks on the disk even. wouldnt boot. pulled that sound effect off the thing and played it. it was chilling, that thing sat in some boomer's shed for 20 years after 6-odd years of use, and all that was left was the base DOS install, a few w32 programs and utilities, and that sound file.
I have no nostalgia for this sound effect. I used Windows 95. I used Windows 3.1. But I asked myself "what is the Windows 95 start-up sound?" then when I clicked the video and listened I thought "this doesn't sound even remotely familiar."
I remember $400/MB RAM. But a full megabyte was absolutely acres at the time, so we didn't complain.
Then along came OS/2 2.x, NT, Warp, and Windows 95 in pretty rapid succession - and you HAD to cough up for them.
glllan.. .gleeeee... BOnng.... BONGggg... bOnggg... bonggg..
You may be autistic. Even the 98 and ME boot sounds grant a feeling

I think we just never turned off the computer.
>tfw your boomer IT uncle explained to your parents that constantly rebooting the PC was more taxing than just letting the hardware and fans run normally
Whoops
WHATS WITH THESE HOMIES DISSING MY GIRL?
WHY DO THEY GOTTA FRONT?
Oh good, it turned on in under 10 minutes.
basically never got to heard it since it requires you have working sound right after install, so if your soundcard is newer than 2001 it just didn't play
>Your computer has performed an illegal operation.
I had no idea what this meant when I was a kid, and I still don't.
