The audio file titled "PowerBook CD-ROM from November 17, 2008" initiates with the distinct sound of a CD-ROM being inserted into a PowerBook laptop. As soon as the disc makes contact, the laptop hums to life, its internal mechanisms whirring as it recognizes the CD-ROM. The initial hum of the laptop's system quickly transforms into the more consistent sound of the CD-ROM spinning within its slot. It's a familiar, almost nostalgic, sound for those acquainted with older Mac laptops. The whirring disc, coupled with the low hum of the laptop's fan, creates a soothing, rhythmic soundscape. Over the course of the audio file, the PowerBook's fan fluctuates in volume and intensity. The subtle shifts in sound paint a picture of a laptop working hard, its fan adjusting to the demands of the CD-ROM's data. As the audio progresses, one can almost visualize the PowerBook: a classic laptop from the mid-2000
