That reminds me of the very early days of Windows and Compuserve.

When I learned how to set wave files to system events, I thought it would be fun to download a bunch of wave sound bites from 2001: A Space Odessy ("I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that") and Terminator 2 ("Asta la Vista, Baby","I'll be back") and link them to system events.

So the sound bite I set for the Windows operating system error was Arnord Swarzenegger as the Terminator saying "Fuck you, asshole!"

I was amused until I was having hardware trouble one day. As the errror messages popped up the computer repeatedly said in it's Arnold voice,

"Fuck you, asshole!
Fuck you, asshole!
Fuck you, asshole!
Fuck you, asshole!
Fuck you, asshole!
Fuck you, asshole!"

Needless to say once I got it sorted out I set all the sounds back to the defaults.
