99 Bottles - a frivolous demonstration of the Macintosh System 6.0.6 Sound Manager
• Works in the background under MultiFinder or System 7
• Brings new meaning to the term “background vocals” ;-)
• Totally annoying (try installing this as somebody else’s start-up application)
• Take your Macintosh Portable with you on your next vacation and sing along
Not recommended nor guaranteed to work for Systems prior to 6.0.6. If you try it under such circumstances, it will use the Sound Driver instead of the Sound Manager and will produce lots of unpleasant clicks between sounds. It also might crash or conflict with other sounds.
On a Mac with an Apple Sound Chip (Mac II or higher) and System 6.0.6 or higher, you can run multiple copies (maximum of four?) of this simultaneously, and the sounds will be “mixed” together.
In memory of long rides on the school bus… (yeah, right, sure.)
Seriously, folks, nobody in their right mind ever finished this song, but since computers enjoy doing mindless repetition…
If you click on the “bottles left” box, you can edit the current number of bottles. Values are restricted to integers between 0 and 1 quadrillion.
Clicking on the “pitch bend” box allows you edit that too. Values can be real numbers from -12 thru 12. A unit of pitch bend equals one half-step, giving a ±1 octave range.
This program is free. You can do whatever you want with it. Except sell it.
