I don't know if I am hallucinating this, or what, but I distinctly remember Microsoft doing two releases of old movie sound samples on sets of 3.5" floppies in the early 90s? 🤔 I can't find any reference to it on the intarwebs. I'm confident it pre-dates CD-ROMs.
@codinghorror All I remember is this .wav file of Lt. Worf saying "It is a good day to die."
You could select this as an alternate sound in Windows 95 when a fatal error crashed the system. Does it get any better than this?
