I didn’t know this, as the various Macs I use are all 2015.

That startup sound is a great idea example of the importance of the utility of affordances in interface design.

After you’ve done something that might have hosed your whole system, the sound alone can bring a sense of relief that at least some life is left in the machine.

Because the stakes are actually kind of high for those making a living with their computer.
