i can't believe noone has mentioned the blatantly obvious use for startup sounds...the original in car computer. there are all sorts of cheesy knight rider sound clips at www.soundamerica.com. when i was using a laptop as my mp3 player before the empeg, my startup sound was KITT saying "All systems go Michael!". at any rate, it fits the scenario pretty well.
