And yeah, that made the rounds for quite a while. If you didn't install the init yourself, it made for quite a surprise. :) I also dimly recall someone doing something along those same lines with sounds from the (then-new) film "Little Shop of Horrors." My memory is pretty hazy, but I believe the Mac said "Feed me!" upon insertion of a disk and made a "blechh!" sound when you ejected a floppy. I *think* that particular tweak was a System Sound that the end user added, but I'm afraid I just don't recall it all that clearly. Can someone straighten me out here? >It wasn't amusing all that long, though, and the tools to *remove* > such resources didn't come until the next release of the system > :) Agreed. Hearing a customized system sound was always amusing for the first dozen or so times, but the novelty wore thin pretty quickly. :) Best, James Fraser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
