yeh but you could have those really really cool Startrek turbo lift
door "whoosh" noises when you opened an application and the photon
torpedo noises when you ejected a disk....
I had a engineer friend who kept his SE30 right up until the late
90's because his work supplied PC "couldn't do that" (I hate Trekies
- I come from a family of them so I know what they are really like
though at least none have learnt Klingon)
