The Dial-Up Modem Screech
That unholy symphony of beeps, whirrs and static that meant the internet was *almost* ready. Roughly 45 seconds to find out if anyone had emailed you on Hotmail.

Nokia 3310 Ringtone

That gentle, hopeful little jingle that signalled your beige PC tower was finally awake. Brian Eno composed it, which feels appropriately British.

The PlayStation 1 Boot-Up
The slightly haunting orchestral swell that meant you were about to lose your entire Saturday to Crash Bandicoot. Goosebumps, every single time.

Teletext Page Turn
Waiting for page 302 of Ceefax to cycle round so you could check the football scores. The original loading bar, just with more clicking and less satisfaction.
