Now there's a quirkster.

He did the startup sound for Windows 95 (little known fact).

Also, Robert Fripp did some of the sounds for Windows Vista (don't remember how much but I do recall he was involved in the project).

I knew about Eno doing that back then, but didn't know that about Fripp.
Interesting.

Ftr: I've been a Mac user for a pretty long while now. Much more to my liking.
Never cared for Microsoft all that much tbh.

I saw a band, The Tattooed Vegetables, back in the late 70s at Madam Wong's West in L.A. Their stage props included vegetables, an electric chair, and lots of T and A. Thankfully the cover charge was only $5.

I loved Madame Wong’s. Used to go there on weekends to see some good bands and some that weren't so good back during the early punk rock & new wave days when I lived in LA.
