Turn Me On

September 1, 2005 09:22 AM

This is probably old news to lots of you, but I just read that Brian Eno composed the Windows start sound - you know, that 3-second ditty that plays when you first turn on your PC. This link talks about the origin of the Mac start up chord. How many times have we listened to either of these sounds and never thought of their origins? Most of us have probably heard these more than most songs or albums that we own, but we've never given a thought as to who wrote them or where they came from. Now you know. Does anyone have a recommendation for an Eno album for the uninitated?

Now playing: The Jam - This Is The Modern World
