Oh well, it could have been worse - Looped hampster dance :o
no don't you mean the badger song? That would of been hilarious...
BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER MUSHROOM, MUSHROOM... AAHHHHHH ITS A SNAKE!!! AAHHHH ITS A SNAKE!!! -- sorry its just my startup tune...looping!!! LOL
but if it was looped it would go on for ages, that would be funny!
Back to the real point though-
I'm surprised that man managed to hack his startup tune in that way, as because he was using a mac, the *dauingg* startup tune that you normally hear is hard-programmed into the ROM chip on the motherboard. I know this because even if there's a crippled/corrupt/non-existent system it still does the startup tune, perfectly well. So what I'm guessing he must of done is muted the built-in startup tune (you can do that with some program that I forget the name of) and laid on an extra software-based tune, which is the one you hear. Or it could of been just a cool prank, and someone was hiding in the curtains with a ghetto blaster, and when he saw him start up is computer he turned on that sound!!! Another point about the mac startup sound: It sounds JUST LIKE the opening of a song called 'Nothing Compares To You'. Sounds like just the sort of thing any I-think-the-sun-shines-out-of-Steve-Job's-Ass person would say!!! *Turning mac on: Nothing compares to you, doiunggggg!!!* I'M LOLLING AGAIN!!!! LOL!
