Computer Sounds

So then.. we'll start off with the good news.  The desktop has returned and it is once again set up.  Looks like I'll just be running a single screen on it, but I'm ok with that.  Its funny though, when I turn on my two external hard drives it thinks that I have 4 hard drives on there.  Still can't get the webcam functioning, but I haven't really played with it that much.  As it turns out there was a motherboard failure.  So that is all fixed up.  
Now both of my computers run vista.  So it looks like I will not be playing Monkey Island for a time.  However I think that I am gonna play with the laptop and get Civ IV on there.  Then I will have some fun playing that.  Hooray Civ!

As the title says this is a long way to get to talking about computer sounds.  Well, as you may know, my laptop says "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" when it shuts down.  Now with the desktop I've moved to more sounds.  Now that is the quote if you log off.  Now if you shut down windows Spock will say "Illogical"  or if you empty the recycle bin you will hear a tribble.  When you log on Scotty says "Hello computer".  Now I don't have to greet the computer every time.  So yes, I have had some fun with this.
