I feel old...

[johno]

One of the folks on my friends list got a new phone and how it felt like a tricorder in his hands.

I replied "I'm still waiting for the one that makes a twril-lup sound when you open it."

"???"

"Original Trek Communicator sound."

"Oh, I never watched it much."

Thinking about his age, he might be old enough to remember Next Gen in first run.

If the new phones can use .WAV files, I've got quite a collection of those from the days when the internet was just a bunch of us calling different BBSes and uploading files we took off other places.
Lots of little funny Star Trek sounds.

I've yet to see one that lists "event" sounds, just rings.

I want it twril-lup when I open it.

Maybe the Chirp of the incoming Trek call might be enough.

Yup, they have those now... my friend likes to open and close hers all the time just because different sounds are made. There's even sounds when you turn it on and off, and making selections from the main menu.
I'm so outdated, I can't even download rings... but at least I have a choice of about 10 different ones, and can program my own, if I can figure that part out... took me too long to figure out how to store names!

I'm not that young! I was born in 1982, and watched all of TNG, as it ran.

Anyway, they always ran TOS at like midnight.

Hush! Whiper-snapper, you'll screw up the story. {grin}
