remember the sound of a videotape rewinding?

David Pogue wrote in his blog recently, about the disappearance of ‘sonic guideposts’, replaced with those identifiable only by the newer generation. A concept that isn’t alien to some of us, but i think Pogue hit the sweet spot. Sounds such as a videotape being rewound, the beeps emitted from a primitive ‘King Kong’ handheld games, these are hardly heard nowadays.

In the local context, how many of you remember this? Remember when the news lead-in was a corny-sounding fanfare?

For me, i miss the chimes that signalled the end of one period back in primary school, and the recess ‘bell’. Or maybe i just miss being a kid.
