I got a bus back to the railway station and the train to Lancaster.

I asked them to reinstall System 7.1 and the basic software including the much missed ClarisWorks (wasn’t that a wonderfully simple integrated software?) They advised that I could send the hard drive to a company in London to recover everything but it might not work and it would cost about £300. There was an emptiness and coldness in my stomach which felt like death itself! I put it into a rucsac, took the train and taxi to the firm where I bought it and waited an hour. My first Mac, a Performa 450 emitted its Chime of Death a few days before I was due to read one of my scribbles at Lancaster’s Spotlight club (UK). These clips may start you on a simple walk down memory lane, but watch out for the flashbacks. That said, I quite liked the ominous Performa chime of death, which I had never heard before.

I didn’t think much about it when I played the first one, but by the end-and thanks particularly to the terrifying car crash sound made by the Power Mac 6100-my heart was palpitating. It provides clips of the sounds that various classic Mac models played when they were unable to boot. I’ve never had occasion to write a trigger warning for a TidBITS article before, much less an ExtraBIT that points to someone else’s article, but Stephen Hackett’s Mac Chimes of Death piece on 512 Pixels deserves one. If you feel your heart racing and your stomach sinking, well, that’s to be expected. Please prepare yourself emotionally by remembering that, even when Macs made these sounds, no actual hardware damage occurred.
Warning: Some people may find the sounds in the linked article alarming, or even traumatizing.
