A story about long alert sounds
Authored by: teamhasnoi on Nov 09, '07 05:50:14PM

Years ago, my Mom had a LCII which I changed the alert sound to me laughing like an idiot for about 2 minutes. I then left for the weekend.

Every time she made a mistake (she was still timid with computers at the time), the alert would sound for the full 2 minutes, effectively locking her out. OS 8.x would not allow any action until the sound was played, so she had to sit there and listen to her son's mocking laughter, unable to close the dialog box. She also didn't know how to change the sound back, so she was stuck with it for the weekend. The sound lasted so long, she would forget and click off the dialog, causing it to launch into laughter once again for another two minutes.

I got an earful when I got back, and I wasn't laughing afterwards :) My first DoS!
