> One of the other sounds I created for the Mac is the one you hear when you take a screenshot (press Cmd-Shift-3). This is also more well-known as the sound you hear when taking a photo on the iPhone and iPad.

> It is a recording of my trusty old Canon AE-1 from the late ’70s.

Anyone able to verify if this story from Michael Greene is true? It seems to contradict Jim Reekes' story. Sounds like Greene believes Patrick Buckland created it.

One of the other startup sounds I loved was that of Ubuntu 13.04+, I last used Ubuntu almost a decade ago but that sound is still stuck in my head

I always liked the tongue in cheekness of Sosumi gonna re-use that name some day

Gunåreuz is Swahili for the tongue is firmly planted in the cheek.
