Remember a while back whenever you received an IM, you'd get an audible? What the heck was that - I can't remember for the life of me.

Was it the voice of Sam Kinnison screaming " Your Mailbox is full, AAAAAAAArrrhhggggg! "?
No-Wait, that's how my old AOL mail worked..

We should have the Howard Dean scream, followed by a machine gun rip.

Only about one time in five would I hear the gunshot. Never heard the cheesy gal.

When too many people complained about the sound while logging in at work. Sounds resembling gunfire ain't considered to be "work friendly"--imagine dat.
