The totally awesome early-to-mid 90's sound (whatever the 540c makes) is my favourite. I have so many memories associated with that sound.

Oh, and as for my Macs, all mine are the defaults

I loved SoundMaster back in the day...

I recorded so many (very) low-quality clips from my CDs in order to play them at startup, shutdown, etc.

The default Vista startup sound

(unlike previous versions of Windows, they've hardcoded this sound into imageres.dll so that it's nowhere near as easy to change as it used to be)

Changing the Windows boot sound to be a Mac startup chime would rock. Especially if you could change the Windows logo image to look like a Happy Mac.

Personally I like this guy's PowerBook startup sound the best: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mt1bgsvsWms.

My Ubuntu system(which has a Hackers theme) has a little clip from somewhere appropriate in the movie.

WOW

I would totally want to do that, but the people in the library here probably wouldn't like that

That was the best startup sound ever.

Heh, how's about Meg Ryan's fake orgasm from 'When Harry Met Sally' as a startup sound?

Nothing can replace the good 'ol Apple bong sound when you turn on your mac

You know what might be amusing?

/me walks into library/etc

/me presses power button

*chainsaw rev* *chainsaw rev* *that one famous woman scream* *evil laugh* *chainsaw rev*

idk

One of my favorites is the HAL 9000 from 2001: "I'm completely operational, and all my circuits are functioning perfectly"

Been there, owned the T-shirt. A better joke was to copy that sound resource into one of those INITs or extensions that play sounds at random intervals.
