One of the things about the Mac II that I find very fun/amusing is the
ability to change the sysbeep.  If you look in the magazine Keyboard
you will see advertisements for CD disks that are nothing but
individual sounds suitable for recording on a sampling keyboard or drum
machine.  For example, it has someone bowing every note on a cello,
violin, etc., another one is a collection of percussion instruments and
from the write up in this month's Keyboard they have a good selection
of exotic percussion instruments on it.  I don't remember the names of
the companies but there are at least 3 different ones selling these
CD's.

I wish that someone would take MacRecorder and make a bunch of
interesting sysbeeps with these CD's.  The good part is that there
isn't any copyright on the CD's, the bad part is that the the cheapest
one is $50 (it's a narrow market and it probably cost a bit to hire the
musicians to do such boring stuff).
