I use link sounds for new message, send, and recieve in instant messenger 
programs. For the server I have a file with Homer Simpson saying, "To Start 
Press any key," followed by the B5 computer saying, "Please enter proper 
code and password," followed by a D'oh from Homer, then "Authrization 
accepted," from the Star Trek computer, and a woohoo from Homer.

Error messages include an "Access denied" from the B5 computer as well.

Since I'm blind I use a lot of sounds on he computer to tell me what's going 
on. I don't text on the phone or deal with alarms, so none of that on the 
phone, and my ring tone is a song I wrote so that I always know exactly if 
it is my phone ringing. (I also have some custom ring tones I created for 
specific people as well)

On a related note, all device connections use things from the HAL9000 
system -- connecting a USB device gets "I'm completely operational and all 
my circuits are functioning perfectly" if it connects properly, while an 
improper connection gets, "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that." 
Disconnecting gets a plaintive "Goodbye" from Hal as he's being shut down.
