   I used to have a whole folder full of movie sound clips that I mixed   
   and matched for Windows events.  My generic error message was HAL   
   saying, "It can only be attributable to human error."  "I think you   
   should lie down and take a stress pill" was also in there.  I used a   
   version of the "ST:TMP/Next Gen" main theme music as my start-up   
   sound, and the Johnny W. Tarzan yell was assigned to something as   
   well.  (Along with a number of clips from "Casablanca" and at least a   
   few from the original "King Kong" - which is due out on Blu Ray next   
   week, if memory serves - plus some Python and Marx Bros. stuff.)   
   Sadly I lost all those MP3 when I swapped out office PCs a few years   
   ago.  (Sheer carelessness on my part.  Forgot to back up the   
   folder.)   I've never had the time to assemble a similar array of   
   sound files, so nowadways I just go with the boring, built-in sounds.
