I read about this on CNET. They have a second video of an interview with the guy who made the chime. It was pretty interesting. I’d never heard the story behind Sosumi before.
Power Macintosh 5200 LC has to be my favourite, it’s got Balls to it, its the kind of chime that says “Chuck Norris? Who’s He?” It’s the kind of chime that has 3 Wheatabix for breakfast, it’s the kind of chime that has ‘more bottle than united dairies’
Thats a mans Chime, thats a Chime with a chin and a tashe and a pipe.
Thats my kind of chime.
is it me or does the performa 6400 sound incredibly depressed
