- Along the same lines, I, for one, would certainly pay good money for a
- recording of dinosaur NOISES.
- The waltz-time 407 (kchunk-Pink kchunk-Pink glup kchunk-Pink kchunk-Pink glup)
- The PDP-1 paper tape reader (slip slup slip slup slip slup)
- The sound of a LINC being slowly reved up through four decades of
- auto-step speeds.
- The rusty-door noises of a LINC reading LINC-tape with the volume
- control up
- The subtly different beeps of various machines (BTW, the Windows 3.1 beep
- is noticeably different from the Windows 3.0 beep, at least on a
- PS/2-40SX).
- The original Mac department-store chime.
- Flexowriters!
- Card sorters!
- etc. etc.
-
- Oh, and on side 2 (say, I can be archaic when I want to be), how about
- great video-game classic sounds of the past? The menacing Urgh Urgh Urgh
- of Space Invaders...
