I found it a while back, by searching for "air raid siren", I think on Alta Vista. Could only find it as a sound effect, not as a downloadable WAV file. But what I did was copy it from the Temporary Internet File, rename it, and paste it into my Windows Sound Effect folder. I use it as my uh-oh sound effect.

Update, just tried searching "air raid siren WAV" on google, came up with several URLs but I am at work and don't have speakers, so I can't test 'em. Here is the first one. I guess you shouldn't try it at work.;^)

Having fun on the DUH-2000 site, got linked to this amusing Y2K compliance statement.

And, from The Onion, Y2K survival tips.

theonion.com

-Stock up on canned goods, paper bags, packages of Jell-O, small cardboard boxes and Reader's Digest back issues, or simply move in with an elderly person.

-Memorize Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5" now, so you can continue to enjoy it after there are no radio stations.

-Learn a valuable skill, such as masonry, woodcutting or trench-digging. These trades will be much sought-after in the coming Empire Of The Beast-King.

-Stock up on Hostess Fruit Pies. This may not keep you alive for long, but while it does... oh, baby.

-Decide now whether you want to focus on raping or pillaging when the end comes.
