@oddsontechnology: There are startup sounds… and then there’s Windows XP. For millions of people, this wasn’t just the sound of a computer turning on. It was the beginning of an after school gaming session, sneaking downstairs at 2 AM to play RuneScape, downloading music off LimeWire, opening MSN Messenger, or waiting for your parents to get off the family PC. The beige tower. The CRT monitor. The whir of the hard drive. That unmistakable startup chime. Technology has become faster, quieter, and infinitely more powerful, but somehow this simple sound still transports an entire generation back to childhood in just a few seconds. What’s the first memory that came to mind when you heard it? #WindowsXP #Microsoft #Nostalgia #school #millennial
