No not really when you got the chime of death it wasn't like a blue screen crash in windows it meant something was very wrong.

I had as top of the line Quadra AV play its car crash sound on boot once - it it was as dead as a door nail I could even boot it of a floppy.

Yeah, hence my use of potato-tomato (instead of potato-potatoh as is the regular version).

In the sense that it's different but no so much - it's still a case of error reporting sound. Plus, I wanted to do the pun.
