Hahaha "let it beep". That's gold.

Such a nob , he gose into all this detail of what he was trying to achive using all these words to then esentualy admit "i just pressed notes untill i got something i liked"

now nothing wrong with just pressing notes or messing around till u get what u want infact probably one of the best ways of working. the problem is this BULLSHIT he is throwin out of his mouth.

although the stuff about the church and actual historical facts about stuff is interesting. Just don't like the subjective bullshit.

Funny, but I'm not that offended by the tritone... I blame Metallica.

Wait, did he say the Mac II startup sound is a tri-tone interval? Sounds like a perfect fifth to me, i.e. C with G as opposed to a tri-tone interval of C with Gb.

Did I misunderstand him? I worked on the Mac II and IIfx for years and heard that tone a thousand times. I recall a discordant sound if you tried to boot the Mac with no memory or an incorrect memory configuration but that's the closest to a tri-tone that I can recall.

I immediately recognized "sosumi" as "so sue me" without knowing the story. I just thought it was a coincidence. I'm guessing they didn't sneak that by anyone who was aware of the situation.
